To avoid awkward and sometimes disastrous learning content, instructional designers must use authentic translation in the right context to get optimal results. 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.

But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong! Terrific tools in PowerPoint along with visual assets help you create the kind of dynamic content you need to capture your remote audience’s attention, with functions that allow for interactive sequences and navigation.

This morning, at 6:00 a.m., I completed exactly 62 tips around the Sun ( not 61; don’t forget you have to include the year before you turned one year old! ). I am now 61 years old, and boy, lately I feel it! I am constantly feeling tired, and my hips and knees are giving me trouble; I usually take the elevator over the stairs these days. My birthday always falls in the middle of the absolutely coldest winter weather here in my home city of Winnipeg.
