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.

Flash-based computer storage has been improving in speed and capacity at breakneck pace over the last decade. M.2 NVMe SSDs have almost completely replaced SATA drives for primary storage capabilities in new systems. While small form-factor machines are continuing to rely on PCIe Gen3 SSDs for an optimal balance of performance and thermal solution sizing, Gen4 SSDs - particularly of the DRAM-less variety - are slowly starting to break into that segment.

If you’re interested in business and technology, I’m sure you’ve come across the term “digital transformation” quite a lot in recent years. The basic take is that it’s about leveraging the latest emerging technology trends – perhaps artificial intelligence (AI) or the Internet of Things (IoT) in order to do business more effectively. That isn't entirely wrong, but it certainly isn't the whole picture.

Since when has learning and development (L&D) become such a negative experience with its intended learners?
