About Us

About Us
NanoLearning is a marketplace for small learning objects, and some tools for creating, aggregating, and sharing those objects.


What’s "Nano" About It?

We want the online community to create learning objects that are broken down into their smallest logical units. Rather than a 30-minute online course about a particular topic, we want to facilitate 2-3 minute chunks that teach you exactly what you need to know.


What is a NanoList?

Organizing a series of these NanoLearning objects into a NanoList is like taking a bunch of song tracks from your favorite CDs and making your own custom playlist. A NanoList can include any combination of NanoLearning objects that you create, or somebody else created. You place them in your own specified order.


How do I Get Started?

1. Create an account for yourself, which requires no personal information and takes less than 30 seconds.
2. Think of a unique user name that you want all the members of the NanoLearning community will know you by.
3. Start creating and sharing!


Do I Need Training?

No. If you can use Microsoft Powerpoint or Microsoft Word, you can create interesting and rich NanoLearning quickly and easily. Pre-programmed templates for all kinds of information display, learning interactions, and assessments are waiting for you to configure in a wizard-like approach. No programming is required, and you can test out your creations before you make them available to everyone.
