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.

Rather than little green men, the astronauts who put their boots on Martian ground are more likely to be greeted by green-streaked skies. Scientists have known for more than 15 years that auroras, vibrant light shows in the atmosphere, exist on Mars. The planet's auroras were found in small spots that seemed to sprout from the ground like mushrooms.

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?
