For example, even a simple phrase like “got milk” translates to “are you lactating” in Mexico. Can you imagine what a straight translation might do to your course? With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

This week, reports are emerging that Meta is continuing to drop Quest 1 support, following the firm’s slow drop in technical support for the landmark headset in previous months. Meta’s transition to dropping official support for the classic headset feels natural at this point in the firm’s history.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners? Could it be because learners have been conditioned by very poor learning experiences over the past two decades, combined with the kinks of technological innovation? Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
