Short on time? Here's the conclusion:

The goal of interspersing a microlecture with active learning approaches is to improve student engagement and learning performance when participating in online, hybrid, or face-to-face instruction. Empirical studies have shown that active learning approaches, such as combining pause points with interactive quizzes, tasks requiring written responses, or note taking, can improve student performance. Moreover, current education technologies support the creation of microlectures that incorporate evidence-based active learning approaches.
