Birds populations are declining rapidly

Birds populations are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, consumption by humans for food and traditional medicines and collection for the international bird trade. Many taxa could become extinct in this century.

In today's fast-paced world full of distractions and online stimulation, it is very difficult to have a learner sit down in one spot and continually absorb educational material and remain focused on a topic for hours upon hours. The children today find it difficult to keep away from distractions on their mobile devices. Furthermore, COVID changed forever the interconnection with nature and the learners of today are simultaneously doing multiple other actions instead of purely learning. Many students take online courses because they have a part-time job. Employees lag behind on their compliance training because they are either bombarded with work or cannot spare two or three hours a week to complete the mandatory compliance courses. Both private and public institutes are struggling to keep their employees accredited and compliant. Having employees take long training, learning, or accreditation courses decreases work productivity, cuts into business hours, increases budget spending, and yet does not guarantee full adoption, compliance, or subject matter comprehension. 

How micro-learning has evolved from theory to an established educational program?

How mobile devices and mobile applications are helping enhance micro-learning for its users?

Moreover, can we identify in the literature the relationships of micro-learning with mobile technology, gaps in micro-learning, and future research into the technology?

Can we stop the decline of the birds’ populations with the drops of knowledge?

Nothing piques my ire like your opinion on this topic
