Abstract

The objective of this research is to reflect on the impact of microlearning in the process of knowledge construction in the digital age, enabling the student a personalized, interactive and flexible learning. Methodologically, it was developed from the documentary approach, allowing the review of different sources that made it possible to identify relevant research on microlearning and how it has been strengthened in the digital age. In this process, information related to the construction of knowledge based on this type of learning was investigated, collected and organized in an era defined by digitalization and hyperconnectivity. In this sense, the understanding of new meanings supported by the analysis, reflection and interpretation of the information consulted was achieved. As a result, microlearning is recognized as an effective strategy for the acquisition of knowledge and skills in a fast and personalized way. In the digital era, it has managed to strengthen itself thanks to connectivism, the advancement of web 4.0 and the use of mobile devices. However, there is a real concern about the quality of its content and the potential risk to lead to student isolation and disconnection. In conclusion, microlearning in the digital age has become a valuable tool for the construction of knowledge through learning capsules that strengthen the individual and collective educational process, being possible thanks to the use of digital resources and technologies. It has proven to be effective for interactive and flexible learning adapted to student needs and the development of specific skills.
