Bite-sized learning - why it adds value

The smartphone has a lot to answer for. The multi-tasking beast has transformed our behaviours, habits and routines given the handy apps, social tools and abundant access to mobile enabled sites.

We can contact our personal networks, search for information, listen to music and watch videos quickly and effortlessly, in bite-sized chunks of time.

Popular streaming platforms like Netflix, NowTV and Amazon Prime, mean we’ve embraced the boxset binging trend with shows such as Breaking Bad, Stranger Things and The Walking Dead – 45-minute bite-sized bursts of tension.

The introduction of the Kindle means we can read in short, sharp bursts on the train, on the bus, on our lunch break – a lightweight, portable piece of kit with umpteen books at our disposal.
