Abstract: Online learning and microlearning are now a well-established part of university education. In our practice, we use the Learning Management System (LMS) as well as the Microlearning Content Management System. We often ask ourselves what structure of tools to choose to ensure that learning objectives are effectively achieved. In our work, we have received feedback from students, participants of the fully online course within five years. The monitored group consisted of 368 students in the selected courses. Through an anonymous online questionnaire, we were always given an opinion on preferred ways of working, benefits and problematic aspects of the content-providing applications as well as recommendations for their completion and recommendations changes. The paper brings a summary of selected conclusions resulting from the quantitative as well as qualitative analysis of the knowledge gained in the period from the years 2014 to 2018. The results confirm the growing popularity, importance, and efficiency of the use of microlearning. At the same time, they point to the potential and hierarchy of teaching resources. Interactivity has a vital role to play here but depends on the content and context of the learning topic. An interesting finding is that there is still a relatively large proportion of users who print the content from the teaching portal and then study it in a classic paper form.
