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.

The metaverse is nearly here. And the fact that it is not just a passing fad is demonstrated by the fact that financial institutions are joining the metaverse. Known as conservative in adopting new trends and extremely careful with the assets they create or accept, banks and investment funds are now making the first steps into the virtual world. This is, perhaps, the highest form of validation the new digital world can get.

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?
