💡Understand the Power Behind the Microlearning Template’s Prompting 💡
Discover how the template’s purpose-built prompts generate high-quality draft content—designed to align seamlessly with your learning goals and deliver a focused, effective experience.
High Level Design (HLD) + Learner Experience Flow
This template is perfect for situations where short, targeted, and skill-relevant content is most effective. The single-round structure with three core activities helps deliver depth on fewer topics, which aligns with research on spaced repetition, focused attention, and retention.
➤ Design Rationale for the Microlearning Template
This microlearning template set is grounded in the principles of cognitive efficiency, relevance, and decision-based practice—all essential to modern, high-impact learning.
Bite-sized structure of 15-20 minute seat time reduces cognitive load and keeps focus sharp, delivering only essential content to support quick understanding without overwhelm.
Scenario-first design promotes active learning by placing learners in realistic situations that require decision-making and application.
Relevance is built in—every interaction ties directly to real-world tasks or challenges learners actually face.
Minimal setup keeps the introduction brief, maximizing time spent in meaningful, practice-based activities.
Designed for single-round, high-impact delivery, this template supports focused engagement and fast, effective learning—ideal for today’s time-constrained learners.
➤ Learning Strategy Behind This Template
The Microlearning Template is designed for focused, skill-based learning in under 20 minutes—ideal for today’s fast-paced learners. Its streamlined structure delivers impact without overload:
Welcome Page: Sets the tone and expectations to orient the learner quickly.
Intro Video, Slideshow, or Avatar Content: Delivers core concepts efficiently through multimedia, supporting diverse learning styles and reducing cognitive load.
Quick Check: Reinforces key concepts with immediate feedback.
Three Scenario-Based Activities: Builds skill through realistic decision-making, active practice, and applied learning rather than passive reading.
End-of-Learning Summary & Skill Feedback: Provides targeted performance feedback to reinforce growth and support continued growth beyond the module.
Together, these elements create a concise, high-impact experience that reinforces essential knowledge, promotes behavior change, and fits easily into busy schedules.

💡 Can I Add or Modify Activities Within the Pre-built Flow?
Yes! While this template includes a core set of recommended activities, you’re welcome to add more to enhance the experience. For example, you can pull in a Conversation or Video Branching activity OR any of the other activity options.
➤ Scoring Approach
This template uses a correct/incorrect or optimal/suboptimal scoring model to support clear, confident decision-making. It’s ideal for reinforcing right vs. wrong choices—perfect for compliance, onboarding, or targeted skill development. This structure helps learners build confidence and accuracy through practice, feedback, and refinement.
Key benefits of this scoring approach:
Encourages clear decisions and reinforces what “good” looks like
Supports consistent, meaningful scoring that reflects learner proficiency
Delivers clear feedback to prompt reflection and improvement
Aligns easily with Studio scoring tools for smooth authoring and export
Each activity includes: (exported in this order to SimGate Studio)
One correct answer to guide learners toward optimal decisions
Two plausible distractors to address common errors or misconceptions
For example - in the ReX Content Download document, you will see the answer options tagged with the scoring approach:
💡 Note! Once your project is exported to Studio, you’ll need to add scoring to the scoring model and create a learner feedback pages after import. To make this easier, the ReX Microlearning Shared Library includes ready-made Learner Feedback page templates you can quickly insert into your wireflow.
📚 Looking for More Ways to Use This Template Effectively?
Quick skill refreshers (e.g., how to respond to customer objections)
Pre- or post-work (e.g., following a classroom or virtual session)
Behavioral nudges (e.g., DEI awareness or micro-ethics moments)
Performance support (e.g., just-in-time coaching on using a tool or process)
Soft skill practice (e.g., giving feedback, time management choices)
Behavioral or knowledge reinforcement (e.g., where practice doing the right thing or knowing the right thing in context matters more than deep exploration.)

About Prerequisite Prompts:
Prerequisite prompts are designed to gather accurate and necessary information from the author to support the development of the learning experience. While the content entered in these prompts does not directly appear in the final learning experience, it plays a critical role in shaping and informing the content.Ensuring Accuracy and Alignment:
Prerequisite prompts often include overviews or checklists to help authors align their input with the intended learning goals. Authors are encouraged to review and edit their responses to ensure ReX has the correct context to create an effective learning experience.Exploring Options:
Authors can always adjust their inputs and regenerate the steps to see different outputs based on revised choices. This flexibility allows for iterative improvements and tailored results.

Where is the scoring and feedback page?
Once your project is exported to Studio, you’ll need to add scoring to the scoring model and create a learner feedback pages after import.
To make this easier, the ReX Microlearning Shared Library includes ready-made page templates you can quickly insert into your wireflow. Choose from options like Learner Feedback, Resources, or Learner Satisfaction—all pre-built with matching themes to streamline your build and maintain a cohesive look and feel.
