You have full control of the United States’ arsenal of nuclear weaponry. What do you do? Back in 1979, a human error in the United States’ early detection system nearly lead to a full-scale nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Union. A training tape mistakenly left in the early detection system monitors warned of an impending nuclear attack designed to cripple nuclear command centers, U.S. nuclear-armed bombers, and land-based missiles, sending NORAD (North American Aerospace De

Go behind the scenes of Meta’s bizarre new holiday. Meta held its first-ever Quest Day earlier this week. Over the course of the day, the company took to Instagram Live to hand out a variety of hilarious Quest-themed freebies. Supplies were limited, which meant most of us would end up going home empty-handed. Those who were quick on the trigger, however, walked away with everything from an official pet distraction mat and Quest cookie cutter kit to Quest grippy socks and a Lil’ Quest

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.

In loose terms, DoF (Degrees of Freedom) in a 3D (Three-Dimensional) VR (Virtual Reality) world determines?—?where you can move around, where you can look around. What is DoF (Degrees of Freedom) in VR? DoF stands for degrees of freedom. This is a term for motion about an axis or along an axis. For example, your elbow joint in 1 DoF. All objects around you that can move in 3D space move in 6 ways, these 6 ways are 3 directional axes and 3 rotational axes.

But trying to create stimulating content with the same tools you’ve always had is hard, right? Thankfully, wrong!

One of the key drivers to increase capacity in next generation storage has been to increase the number of bits that can be stored per cell. The easy jump of one to two bits-per-cell gives a straight 100% increase, in exchange for more control needed to read/write the bit but also limits the cell endurance. We’ve seen commercialization of storage up to four bits-per-cell, and talk about five.

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?
