[Master of Science in Instructional Design Assignment]

Microlearning is one of the most effective ways to communicate a singular objective to learners. While the asset should be short and directed, creating successful microlearning is not as simple as just shortening a traditional learning asset.

College Freshman

For on-campus first-year university students, living with roommates, usually strangers, can be daunting. Roommate conflicts can arise immediately after moving in or take longer to build up as issues go unaddressed for months. Conflicts can result from differences in hygiene, cleaning, schedules, social preferences, and communication styles. As most college freshman are recently 18-years old and living independently for the first time, they may not know how to proactively manage conflicts. 

Learners will be able to implement the four steps to proactively managing roommate conflicts which include practicing self-reflection, identifying living situation goals, having open conversations, and checking in on progress.
