This week came with two great pieces of news for me. The first one is that the bond between me and VRrOOm has become a bit more official , and we’ll keep innovating the virtual events sector together for a while. The second one is that we of New Technology Walkers have just launched our fitness game HitMotion: Reloaded for Vive Focus 3. I’m super-happy with the projects I’m following and the talented people I’m collaborating with, and I’m sure I’ll do great things with them in the future!

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.

Or is it because learning has typically been designed as a one-size-fits-all solution, despite the fact that humans are not clones?
