Gamification - the process of adding games or gamelike elements to something (such as a task) so as to encourage participation.

Microlearning - a teaching style that involves short bursts of highly engaging and interactive information, delivered to the learner at his request. The learner is in full control of his education, and decides what, when and how much he is learning.
