The micro mission is one I choose to accept. I have made it my mission to teach people how to make and use video for learning purposes. In this case, I’m focused on the micro-video, one of six types of learning or educational videos. In this video post, I’ll tell you why a micro-video is a valuable learning tool. It’s all about the formula.
This video was edited in Camtasia and subtitled using the free version of Kapwing.
Hi! I’m Chris Karel from the Learning Carton! I’m on a mission to help YOU make better learning videos. And I’m here to help you use those videos to create better learning experiences.

Your Mission… Should you choose to accept it Is to teach people how to make and use a micro-video for learning purposes.
As always, should you or any member of your Learning Carton team be caught or commented upon, the BAT secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Good luck Chris!

Listen up
A micro-video is a short video (1 minute or less).
The basic formula of micro-videos is Hook-Prep-Message-Review-Next.
The “Hook” grabs the learner’s attention.
Prep” is where the video taps the prior knowledge of the learner to energize the brain, which enables the learning of the new concept.
The “Message” is where the content is delivered, usually as a narrative explanation or visual depiction.
The “Review” serves as a recap of the previous three parts of the formula.
Finally, the “Next” is where you show the learner what’s to come.
Tell no one about this
OK seriously, tell everyone: Hook-Prep-Message-Review-Next
Comment down below how you use Micro videos or DM me so I can help you make them!
