Online microlearning delivers educational content in small, focused units to enhance learning outcomes and motivation, yet current research often lacks systematic design strategies grounded in learning theories, focusing instead on technical implementation without a thorough impact assessment. This study addresses this gap by proposing a learning style-based approach to designing online microlearning and evaluating its effects through a controlled experiment involving 67 programming learners divided into treatment (n=34, microlearning tailored to learning styles) and control groups (n=33, traditional online course). Results demonstrate that the proposed microlearning approach significantly improves learning gains and motivation compared to traditional methods, offering valuable implications for educators and suggesting future research directions.
