Nano videos: Professional development that fits around busy schedules
Transform your workforce with bite-sized, expert-led video content that's easy to digest whenever learning needs to happen. Access Bookboon delivers nano videos from 90 seconds in length designed for busy professionals.
Our market-leading digital learning solutions are accredited, assured and backed by our learning partners.
What are nano videos?
Nano videos are short videos featuring subject matter experts discussing specific topics in an engaging, conversational style. Each video delivers one complete, actionable concept—purposefully designed for immediate application, not chopped-up fragments of longer courses.
As part of Access Bookboon, nano videos join our broader library of eBooks, audio content, and expert masterclasses, offering organisations multiple formats to engage their workforce in professional development.
What happens to professional development when there's no time for hour-long courses?
Your compliance training gets completed because it must. Your technical certifications happen because they're scheduled. But what about the leadership skills, difficult conversations, and strategic thinking that separate good performers from great ones? Those development opportunities keep sliding down the priority list when they require dedicated training time.
The gap isn't in your training strategy - it's in the format. Professional capabilities build through frequent, focused learning rather than occasional deep dives. A 90 second leadership insight applied in today's team meeting beats a comprehensive management course bookmarked for next quarter.
Introduce short bursts of video learning
Access Bookboon delivers on-demand learning in the visual content format your workforce is already familiar with – think short news clips or TikTok videos. Our short nano videos align with how people naturally consume information - brief, focused, and immediately useful – which makes learning feel less like corporate training and more like genuine skill-building.
Expert-led content from subject matter experts focuses on immediate application: skills you can use the same day, fitting seamlessly between meetings, during commutes, or in those brief windows throughout the workday.
Why should you implement nano learning?
Nano-learning videos transform professional development by fitting seamlessly into your workforce's actual day. Those spare minutes employees might spend scrolling the news becomes skill-building time. Commutes become classrooms. Time waiting for calls to start becomes capability development - all without disrupting productivity. When employees are in the mood for deeper learning, they can consume multiple videos on a specific topic in one focused session.
Beyond traditional work skills, nano videos cover what your workforce wants to learn: AI fundamentals, wellbeing and stress management, financial literacy, leadership essentials, and quick practical tips they can apply immediately. This results in immediate skill application that employees genuinely value, and confident professionals who engage with learning because it delivers practical benefits they can use today - both at work and in life.

Frequently asked questions about Nano videos
What are nano videos?
Nano videos deliver complete, actionable concepts in video modules from 90 seconds long. Unlike chopped-up fragments of longer content, each nano video is purpose-built to teach a specific skill you can apply immediately - fitting between meetings, not disrupting them.
How do employees find time for nano video learning?
That's the point - they already have the time. Between client calls, during the commute, while waiting for meetings to start, or during lunch breaks. Mobile-optimised content with offline access means learning happens in moments that already exist in the workday.
Will this work for our older employees who aren't used to short videos?
When organisations provide the right content and clearly communicate its benefits, professionals of all ages find value in brief, focused videos that deliver practical skills. The key is immediate applicability -everyone appreciates learning that saves time rather than consuming it.
Can users access nano learning content offline?
Yes, full offline access is available on mobile devices for learning during commutes or in areas with limited connectivity.
What is the 70 20 10 rule for training and development?
The 70-20-10 model suggests people learn through 70% on-the-job experience, 20% social learning from others, and 10% formal training. Our nano videos bridge all three: bite-sized videos fit into your workflow (70%), peer communities enable social learning (20%), and expert-led content provides structured knowledge (10%).
