Digital Work Instruction Template & Microlearning Unit

Title": "Digital Work Instruction Template & Microlearning Unit", "IntroductionHtml": "

This interactive template helps you create short, visual, step‑by‑step digital work instructions (DWIs) paired with a microlearning check. Use it to reduce variation, shorten onboarding, capture site‑specific skills, and record a simple competency sign‑off. Fill the fields below, save a copy for your site, then test and refine on the shop floor.
