The term '''microlecture''' is NOT''not'' used here to refer to [[microcontent]] for [[microlearning]], but to actual instructional content that is formatted for [[E-learning|online]] and [[mobile learning]] using a constructivist approach. More specifically, as described in the [[Chronicle of Higher Education]],<ref>Shieh, David. (2009). These lectures are gone in 60 seconds. ''Chronicle of Higher Education'', 55(26), A1,A13.</ref> these are approximately 60 second presentations with a specific structure. They are not just brief (one minute) presentations: although Dr. McGrew had success with "one minute lectures"<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = McGrew | first1 = L.

David M. Penrose (aka the One Minute Professor), an independent instructional designer and eLearning consultant, has articulated the process for creating these '''microlectures'''.

== How to create a One Minute Lecture ==
<blockquote>
Professors spend a lot of time crafting hourlong lectures. The prospect of boiling them down to 60 seconds — or even five minutes — may seem daunting. David Penrose, a independent course designer who developed San Juan College's microlectures, suggests that it can be done in five steps:
* List the key concepts you are trying to convey in the 60-minute lecture.<br>
That series of phrases will form the core of your microlecture.<br>
<br>
* Write a 15 to 30-second introduction and conclusion.<br>
They will provide context for your key concepts.<br>
<br>
* Record these three elements using a microphone and Web camera. <br>
(Your information-technology department can provide advice and facilities.)<br>
If you want to produce an audio-only lecture, no Webcam is necessary.<br>
The finished product should be 60 seconds to three minutes long.<br>
<br>
* Design an assignment to follow the lecture that will direct students to readings or activities that allow them to explore the key concepts. <br>
Combined with a written assignment, that should allow students to learn the material.<br>
<br>
* Upload the video and assignment to your course-management software.
