The paper describes creation of e-Learning course using so called MicroLearning (ML). MicroLearning is not so new theoretical way of creating courses and study materials (processing subject matter) but maybe due to its limitations was not used much in university e-Learning course creation. Some authors see MicroLearning as one of trends in e-Learning, we look at reasons why MicroLearning can be suitable solution and which basic rules are with it connected. Presented is experience we gained when creating MicroLearning course for our students and pitfalls connected with this approach. Literature says that ML is not suitable for use with complex skills and creation of small learning units can lead to loosing general overview in specific subject matter. Described are students’ opinions on MicroLearning course we have created. Opinions were generally positive although just small sample of respondents was questioned.
