Summary:
His voice devolves into a strangled, animalistic howl, his body thrashing on the bed. Clint’s blood runs cold as he scrambles from the bed and out of the way of Barnes’ flailing limbs.
Shit. Shit shit shit.
Clint stands frozen for a moment at the side of the bed as Barnes continues to scream. He’s heard a lot of screaming in his lifetime. Many of those screams even feature as part of the soundtrack to his own nightmares. But this… He’s never heard screaming like this before.

Our Daily Homily
by F.B. Meyer
Devotional for September 21st
What do these Hebrews here?
- 1 Samuel 29:3
It was a very natural remark. The Philistines were going into battle with the Hebrew king and his troops, and it was very anomalous that a strong body of Hebrews should be forming part of the Philistine array. They had no business to be there. The annoyance of the chief captains and lords that surrounded Achish was natural enough. For long, probably, it had been smoldering; now it broke out into flame.
It is very terrible when the children of the world have a higher sense of Christian propriety and fitness than Christians themselves, and say to one another, "What do these Hebrews here? The word "Hebrew "means one that has passed over—a separatist. The death of our Lord Jesus was intended to make all His followers separatists. Through Him they have passed from death unto life; they have been delivered out of the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. The appeal of His cross to us all is, "Come out from among them, and be ye separate." Too often, however, that call is unheeded; and, for fear of man, we mingle with the ranks of the enemies of our Lord.
If Christians attend the theater; if Sunday-school teachers, elders or deacons of a church, are found participating in the pleasures of the ungodly; if the young Christian man is found loosely consorting with the card-players of the smoking-room of an ocean steamer—may not the sneer go round, "What do these Hebrews here? "What doest thou here, Elijah!" is the remonstrance of God. "What do these Hebrews here?" that of the world, which not unfrequently has a truer sense of propriety than God’s professing followers.

The Art of Crafting a Microlearning Solution
Microlearning has emerged as a powerful strategy for modern education and training, characterized by delivering content in small, focused bursts. As we navigate the complexities of creating an effective microlearning solution, the design elements play a crucial role. Deciding whether to use infographics, podcasts, animations, videos, or a blend of these tools depends largely on the context and how these elements can be integrated to achieve the learning objectives.
Understanding Microlearning
Microlearning is designed to meet the needs of learners who are often time-constrained and require concise, engaging content. It leverages various multimedia formats to cater to different learning preferences and enhance retention. The flexibility of microlearning makes it suitable for diverse environments, from corporate training to academic settings.
The Role of Design in Microlearning
Design is the backbone of any effective microlearning strategy. A well-designed microlearning module captures attention, sustains interest, and facilitates better understanding and retention of information. The design elements you choose—infographics, podcasts, animations, videos, or a combination—must align with the learning goals and the preferences of your audience.
Infographics
Infographics are visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. They can be highly effective in microlearning because they:
Simplify Complex Information: Infographics distill complex data into a digestible format, making it easier for learners to grasp key points quickly.
Enhance Visual Appeal: The use of colors, icons, and layout can make information more engaging and memorable.
Facilitate Quick Learning: Learners can absorb and retain information faster through visual storytelling.
When to use: Infographics are ideal when you need to present statistics, processes, or comparisons that can be visualized.
Podcasts
Podcasts are audio recordings that can be accessed on-demand. They offer several advantages for microlearning:
Flexibility: Learners can listen to podcasts anytime, anywhere—during a commute, workout, or break.
Engagement: The use of storytelling and conversational tones can make content more engaging.
Accessibility: Audio content is accessible to individuals with visual impairments or those who prefer auditory learning.
When to use: Podcasts are effective for delivering expert interviews, storytelling, or explaining concepts that benefit from a narrative approach.
Animations
Animations bring content to life through motion graphics. They are particularly effective in microlearning for the following reasons:
Illustrating Complex Concepts: Animations can simplify and visualize abstract or complex ideas that are hard to describe textually.
Engagement: The dynamic nature of animations captures and maintains learners' attention.
Versatility: They can be used to demonstrate processes, show cause-and-effect relationships, or visualize data.
When to use: Animations are best for explaining technical concepts, demonstrating processes, or when you want to add an element of fun to the learning experience.
Videos
Videos combine visual and auditory elements, making them a powerful tool for microlearning:
Rich Media: Videos can include visuals, audio, text, and interactivity, catering to various learning styles.
Narrative Power: They can tell a story, provide context, and create emotional connections.
Engagement: Well-produced videos can captivate learners and hold their attention longer than static content.
When to use: Videos are ideal for demonstrating procedures, showcasing real-world scenarios, or when a more in-depth explanation is needed.
Blending Multimedia Elements
The true strength of a microlearning solution lies in the strategic blend of different media types. This blend should be guided by the context of the learning environment and the specific objectives you aim to achieve.
Identify Learning Objectives: Determine what you want your learners to achieve. Clear objectives will guide the selection and combination of multimedia elements.
Understand Your Audience: Consider the preferences, backgrounds, and accessibility needs of your learners. Different audiences may respond better to different media types.
Content Mapping: Map out your content and decide which parts are best suited for each type of media. For example, use infographics for statistical data, podcasts for storytelling, animations for complex concepts, and videos for demonstrations.
Consistency and Cohesion: Ensure that the multimedia elements are consistent in style and tone. Cohesion across different media types helps maintain a seamless learning experience.
Feedback and Iteration: Gather feedback from learners and continuously iterate on your design. This helps you refine the blend of multimedia elements to better meet the learning objectives.
Practical Applications and Examples
To illustrate the effective use of multimedia in microlearning, consider the following examples:
Example 1: Corporate Training on Cybersecurity
Infographics: Present statistics on cyber threats and data breaches.
Podcasts: Feature interviews with cybersecurity experts discussing best practices.
Animations: Demonstrate how phishing attacks work and how to avoid them.
Videos: Provide step-by-step tutorials on setting up security protocols.
Example 2: Academic Module on Climate Change
Infographics: Show the impact of climate change with charts and maps.
Podcasts: Include narratives from scientists and activists.
Animations: Explain the greenhouse effect and carbon cycle.
Videos: Document real-world effects of climate change and mitigation efforts.
Challenges and Considerations
While multimedia elements enhance microlearning, there are challenges to consider:
Resource Intensive: Creating high-quality multimedia content requires time, expertise, and financial resources.
Technical Issues: Learners may face technical issues such as compatibility, bandwidth limitations, or accessibility barriers.
Content Overload: Too much multimedia can overwhelm learners. It’s important to balance the use of different elements to avoid cognitive overload.
Conclusion
Launching a microlearning solution becomes significantly easier when you have a clear design strategy. The choice between infographics, podcasts, animations, and videos—or a combination of these—depends on the context and how well you integrate these elements to serve the learning objectives. By understanding your audience, mapping your content effectively, and maintaining consistency, you can create engaging and effective microlearning experiences that meet the needs of modern learners. The iterative process of gathering feedback and refining your approach ensures that your microlearning solution remains relevant and impactful.
