My predictions for Meta Connect 2023: Meta Quest 3 and…

The Ghost Howls

Tomorrow is the day the Meta Connect starts! Every year I like to play the speculation game about what to expect from there… and every year I predict a lot of things wrong (like that year that I said that the Quest Link was not going to happen… shame on me). This is a tradition I can’t skip this year, too. I’m swamped with work so I do have not much time to write a long post… but I still want to play the prediction game with you!

The Future of eLearning in 2022: A Sensitive Eye for Authentic Translation and Localization

Speaker: Chris Paxton McMillin, President of D3 Training Solutions

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.

Who C.A.R.E.S.!? How Learning Got Its Bad Rap & What We Can Do About It

Speaker: Treion Muller, Chief Strategy Officer at ELB Learning

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?
