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.

A new puzzling game called Jigsaw Night should debut this week for Quest 3 and 3S headsets with an assortment of features so impressive it could draw in new VR buyers. I tried out the single player version of the experience at AWE in Long Beach from long-time developer Steve Lukas and found myself immediately impressed with the depth of the work. You have your choice of hand tracking or controller tracking, for instance, and you can select both the number of pieces and their shape.

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?

Threads , Mark Zuckerberg's answer to X , has been around for nearly two years. And soon, users will finally be able to send direct messages (DMs) on the app. Until now, anyone wanting to DM someone on Threads had to jump over to Instagram. That workaround makes some sense — you can’t have a Threads account without also having an Instagram account — but switching between apps is a clunky experience, especially on a platform built for quick, conversational posts.
