Attention Economy in Learning

Short-form academic content aligns with decreasing attention spans, making


learning more engaging and digestible. Research indicates that shorter videos have
higher learner engagement and that students retain information best when content
is presented in short, frequent chunks rather than traditional lecture-style formats.

Effectiveness of Microlearning
Microlearning, which delivers small, focused bits of information, has been shown to
enhance knowledge retention and application. A study examining the influence of
short videos on attention span and its relationship with academic performance
found that participants spent approximately 1-2 hours each day watching short-form
videos and acknowledged their consequences.

Digital Media and Academic Engagement
Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are increasingly used for
academic purposes. Research explores TikTok video consumption frequency,
perceived consequences of accessing abundant information effortlessly, and
influence on academic learning, indicating these formats promote active learning
and motivation. (https://ejournal.upi.edu/index.php/edutech/article/view/69229/0?)
Short-form Video for Conceptual Understanding
Visual learning theories support the use of short-form videos for conveying complex
academic concepts, leading to improved comprehension and recall. A workflow
designed for liaison librarians at an academic library creating short-form video
content aims to increase student engagement with the library and improve student
awareness of library resources and services.

The Role of Infographics in Learning
Infographics, a form of short academic content, facilitate information processing by
combining text and visuals effectively. The use of infographics can enhance
understanding and retention of information, making complex data more accessible
to learners.

Social Media as an Educational Tool
Short form academic content on social media platforms has been shown to increase
student engagement, participation, and collaborative learning. The use of blogs to
make peer-reviewed research more accessible exemplifies how social media can
serve as an educational tool.

Short-form vs. Traditional Learning
Comparative studies find that short-form content is effective for knowledge but may
lack the depth needed for critical analysis unlike traditional methods. The effects of
short-form content characteristics on user engagement and intention to subscribe
indicate that while short-form content is popular, it may not always provide the
depth of traditional learning methods.

Enhanced Engagement: Platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels provide concise
and visually appealing educational content, making learning more accessible and
engaging for students.

Microlearning Opportunities: Short videos allow for microlearning, where
complicated topics are made easier to explain, breaking them down into
manageable segments, making better understanding and retention.
