Abstract
The small scale of the training content allows participants to access the content easily, at their own pace, and most importantly, at the appropriate time. On the other hand, the fact that nano-learning is more focused increases permanence by preventing unnecessary information confusion. As the content focuses on several learning objectives, the students can reach what they look for. In the study it is aimed to determine whether nano-learning or micro-learning is effective fort he students who are bored with traditional distance ecucation. We gathered information about nano-learning and tried to find out availability, usability and applicability of Nano-learning for those who have difficulties concentrating on courses in classroom environment. It is concluded that the primary purpose of nano courses is to impart a large amount of useful information in a short time. This is particularly appropriate in the context of continuous learning, as a person can constantly acquire new information without having to spend a lot of time. It is concluded that there is a great decrease in the attention span of students, and therefore nano-learning becomes more applicable in our coutry.
