Since November, I have been volunteering as a learning experience designer for Rumie Learn. They specialize in creating Bytes which are microlearning courses that take 6-9 minutes to take and are aimed at social media users aged 14-29. The idea is to get people to scroll with purpose. Rumie has an excellent onboarding program where you go through a series of Bytes that are located together on Rumie Build, which is the content creation system used to create Bytes. Since each Byte is built in the format of the Bytes learning experience designers will be creating, you get a good sense of how to format a Byte while you getting the information and training you need to create Bytes. Brilliant! The learning director, Steve Birek, takes a very active role in supporting new learning experience designers and also giving support throughout the process with a weekly volunteer support Google Meet as well as quality feedback during the Byte creation process. Slack is used effectively to build teams or squads of designers and as a place to get support and get to know the Rumie Build Community. Rumie also uses Discord to connect the entire Rumie community connecting the learners who use Rumie with the designers and staff of Rumie. Microlearning course creation at Rumie involves a two-week Sprint structure. First, you choose a learning objective in Clickup, the project management software utilized throughout the Byte creation process. This learning objective will be the focus of your Byte. Then you have a week to design the first draft of your Byte. During the second week it goes through Peer Review where LXDs review each others' Bytes. Then the Byte is reviewed by a Byte Editor and finally published on Rumie Learn. I found it challenging and fun to work within the constraints of microlearning and also the Rumie Build system. The emphasis is on using clear, concise language and pictures, gifs, and memes to keep learners engaged. I chose to create Bytes on a wide range of topics. I have learned so much through this process and plan to continue to stay on as a learning experience designer to create more Bytes in the future.
