Abstract
MicroLearning (ML) was identified as one of the trends that can profile e-Learning now or in the near future. The author already conducted two experiments, where he tested newly created MicroLearning courses in comparison with “classic” e-Learning courses and got promising results [10]. The paper describes the creation of MicroLearning course “Creation of webpages”. The author focuses on design of newly created course taking into account subject matter and concepts of creation of individual ML units using among others step by step instructional design. Mentioned is the way ML learning units for this course were created, also making use of video tutorials enriched with interactions and quizzes. LMS Moodle was chosen for ML course creation with added support for interactive multimedia. This was extended with interactive code exercises “Try, Alter and Execute” (TAE) with pre-prepared HTML codes. The course aims to support more active engagement of students as they try code alterations within LMS and offer benefits of numerous quizzes.
