Qualitative learning content
Our learning nuggets are standardised in structure and methodological approach to ensure a lasting learning effect in the shortest possible time.
What are learning nuggets?
Learning nuggets are short learning units in which learners are provided with information on a specific subject area in a clear and compact format. They are suitable for deepening existing knowledge, preparing thematically for further training events or, if necessary, acquiring new specific knowledge. The compact learning units are considered a form of so-called microlearning and are characterised in particular by the fact that learning content can be consumed at any time, regardless of location and in a short space of time.
Structure of the compact units of the Dr G. Kitzmann Academy
Our Learning Nuggets are interactive learning units in the form of PDFs, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of soft skills. They are characterised by conciseness, goal orientation and a high level of initiative on the part of the reader. The content is designed in such a way that it is suitable for self-study and learners do not need any guidance from a teacher. The learning nuggets provide theoretical concepts, but also contain other didactic elements such as illustrative examples and tasks for self-reflection. At the end of each learning unit, you will find a quiz that you can use to check your learning progress. With a combination of visual elements, practical examples and opportunities for interaction, we guarantee an effective and engaging learning experience.

Scope of our learning nuggets
Each of our learning nuggets is designed so that it can be completed in a manageable amount of time. You receive concise, directly applicable knowledge on the selected topic in easily digestible portions. Depending on the subject area, our learning units can be completed in around 25 - 60 minutes, depending on the learning intensity and reading speed.
Why learning snacks are didactically useful
Interactivity
With text and tick boxes that you can edit digitally, an engaging and promising learning experience is created in the short units.
Utilising the attention span
The average human attention span is around 20 - 30 minutes. After that, concentration wanes noticeably. While interactivity and breaks are built into seminars to maintain learners' concentration, regular interruptions are often forgotten in self-study. With our concisely summarised, concrete content, you only learn for as long as your natural attention span lasts. This promises a high level of learning success for consolidating content.
Direct application in practice
The alternation of self-assessments, inputs, examples, recommendations for action and learning checks not only promotes understanding, but also the practical application of what has been learnt.
Increasing commitment
As the learning chunks are short and clear, they remain interesting and motivating. You can quickly see success and continuously improve.
Easy to grasp content
Due to their compact form, Learning Nuggets are very easy to understand and remember. They break down complex topics into small, understandable units.
Seminars in combination with Learning Nugget
Our learning nuggets are the ideal complement to our face-to-face seminars, online seminars and e-learning courses. The compact learning units give learners the opportunity to deepen and consolidate the learning content of the previously attended training event. While the Dr G. Kitzmann Academy seminars provide you with the necessary foundation and understanding, the learning nuggets offer quick, focussed learning units for everyday use. In combination, this not only promotes continuous learning, but also enables immediate applicability in a professional context.
3 helpful tips for your learning snacks
- Selection of learning content: Clearly define your learning objectives and select appropriate learning units.
- Use idle time wisely: Use breaks or time on the train or bus on the way to work to refresh your knowledge.
- Repetition: Repeat key concepts regularly to consolidate what you have learnt.
