As part of her nonresidential Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute fellowship in 2017-18, Linda Austin created a free mobile-microlearning course to help journalists learn how to write for mobile audiences.
Thirty-five journalists tested the course, and Austin said they all said they would recommend it to other journalists. Eighty percent increased their test scores in an efficacy study conducted by the Information Experience Lab at the University of Missouri in 2019.
The course has been tweaked and improved since then, based on feedback from the journalists in the study and it is available free.
