The term '''microlecture''' is NOT used nothere to refer to [[microcontent]] for [[microlearning]], but to actual instructional content that is formatted for [[Online 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), thean Directorindependent ofinstructional Academicdesigner Technologyand ateLearning Antioch Universityconsultant, of [[Sungard|SunGard Higher Education]] has articulated the process for creating these '''microlectures'''. As stated (Shea, 2009), these specific [[lecture]]s are combined with specific activities designed to promote the epistemic engagement<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Shea | first1 = P. | last2 = Bidjerano | first2 = T. | year = 2009 | title = Community of inquiry as a theoretical framework to foster "epistemic engagement" and "cognitive presence" in online education | url = | journal = Computers and Education | volume = 52 | issue = 3| pages = 543–553 | doi = 10.1016/j.compedu.2008.10.007 }}</ref> of the learner.
