Microlearning apps have become hugely popular in companies over the past few years as effective and customisable knowledge-sharing platforms, whether you’re looking for help onboarding new employees, encouraging team collaboration or trying to build a strong corporate culture. If you’re considering utilising one for your business, it can be a little overwhelming knowing where to start, as there are literally hundreds of options to choose from. But we’ve done a little research for you, and have narrowed down 10 of the best apps to take a look at:

1. Qualee Technology

This award-winning app focuses on on-boarding and employee engagement. It is user-friendly and intuitive to set up, and is well-rated for its support team. Note that the free trial does not include full functionality

2. BrainStorm QuickHelp

This is a video-heavy app designed for team training for IT support. It is consistently well-reviewed by users. Administration of the app is reported to be tricky at first, but with excellent administrative assistance

3. Bites

Designed specifically for training frontline teams, Bites uses videos, flashcards, quizzes and more. Its social-media style format is highly accessible and it’s easy to create content. On the downside, some users might view the ‘simplicity’ as a lack of variety.

4. EdApp

An effective app focused on team training and performance tracking, EdApp is easy to set up with content and, crucially, provides ‘certification’ on course completion. Be careful when looking at pricing, as there are additional costs for a lot of the functionality. 

5. GoSkills

Offers a wide range of readymade courses covering everything from how to use popular business computer software to interview skills. Videos are clearly explained and informative and it’s easy to navigate through the huge variety of topic.

6. 7Taps

This popular customisable corporate training tool prides itself on simplicity of use, with content creation possible in as little as 15 minutes thanks to their wide range of templates. While fast and efficient, it is aimed at companies rather than freelancers.

7. QStream

This is an integrated teaching system for larger enterprises, based on spaced learning and repetition. It makes effective use of scenario-based challenges and gamification, and offers real-time analysis of results.

8. Learnie

A registered BCorp, Learnie is a community-focused app that embeds values-aligned impact and collaboration. It’s a simple and effective way for communities to share knowledge, while its lack of corporate focus gives it an appealingly fresh feel.

9. Edgagement

Focused on games and interactive learning for both your team members and customer-facing interactions, this fun made-for-mobile app can be a little labour intensive to set up but worth it for the end result.

10. Kahoot

Originally designed for motivating school kids with quizzes and learning games, Kahoot at Work is a highly engaging platform that assists with training, presentations, events and more. Its fun-focused design may not appeal to all, but it’s definitely effective!
