This case study investigates educational microcontent as an online delivery mechanism for course content, specifically assessing its impact on the subjective student learning experience. Microcontent was introduced as a supplementary resource to students across three Computer Science courses at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Content was distributed via Snack, a platform developed by the research team for efficient creation and distribution of short, "bite-sized" instructional videos. The case study suggests microcontent had significant positive impact on students' non-achievement outcomes; improving confidence, interest in subject material, academic self-efficacy and learning ability, as well as self-perception of achievement outcomes such as learning ability and academic performance. Findings support the position that microcontent is an effective supplementary tool for teachers which can engage a large student audience and positively impact their learning experience.
