VRScout

Flap your wings as hard as you can to get your Flugtag flying machine off the dock. Red Bull Flugtag is a wacky annual event where teams of Red Bull-fueled aviation visionaries get together to launch their homemade, human-powered aircrafts off a 30 ft high dock, hoping it will soar across the water like a graceful albatross caught up in the North Pacific winds.

Kadine James: we must work together for inclusion and accessibility in the VR ecosystem

The Ghost Howls

When talking about technologies like virtual reality, usually we like to speak about hardware, software and other technological features, but actually it is also interesting to talk also about all the rest that is around these technologies, about the human factor around them.

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.

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?

The Climate 4.0 Economy. Climate change is here. We see it in many ways already.
