Automated microlearning with Mailchimp

Monday Funday by Karl G Richter

Today's another great day. Let's get this week started with a little food for thought.

In last week's LIVE Monday Funday show, I shared my favorite metaphor for Blended Learning. This tongue-in-cheek look at learning technologies is something I'm calling the Blended Learning Food Pyramid.

In this week's show, I'll take you behind the scenes as I set up an automated email campaign using MailChimp. I've monkeyed around with this tool in the past because I love tools that are mobile and modern.

Email campaigns can take advantage of the brain's need for spaced repetition. I'm building a small mobile microlearning-y course that covers some of my favorite ways to blend different learning technologies. (The free 60 minute course itself is launching next week)

Free Storyline Resource

Last week I shared a free Storyline file that you can download to make your own road trip in Storyline.

Here's a look at the finished version. If it gets your motor running, please download it and use it.

Work smart, not hard.

I use rebrand.ly to have a short URL that can be updated at any time. Bit.ly won't let you edit a link.

I know, you may be thinking, so what, Karl? Here's an example of how you could use it.

Each week I have a new link for my show on YouTube, so I set up https://rebrand.ly/karlsliveshow so I don't have to change my website and the buttons in my newsletter every week. I just update it on rebrand.ly and it takes you to the right show.

I used to use this tool with clients when I'd publish courses and the link would change with each version. If you have content that moves around a lot, even the free version can be a game changer.

Link of the Week

Like a snake eating its own tail, here's a collection of resources about curation from super collector Mike Taylor.

The Internet is filled with fascinating and helpful resources. Do you have a good strategy for finding, organizing, and sharing the gems out there? It's become a real area of emphasis for me this year.
