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.

A Wordle "app" is now available on Quest's Horizon Store, though it's really just a contained shortcut to the website. Meta is promoting Wordle's arrival in an interview on its blog by describing it as "a native experience in mixed reality" that's "designed specifically for Quest" and set in a "unique virtual environment", so we were keen to see exactly what this meant.

Remote meetings are here to stay - and many are BORING. If you are trying to engage your learners (or any audience), compelling content is critical. 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.

Since generative AI went mainstream, the amount of fake content and misinformation spread via social media has increased exponentially. Today, anyone with access to a computer and a few hours to spend studying tutorials can make it appear that anyone has said or done just about anything.

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?
