With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

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?
