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.

The last time anyone set foot on the moon, in 1972, astronauts plunged metal tubes into the lunar ground. They captured soil and rock and then sealed off the precious extraterrestrial material. One of the samples, 73001, has been fastened shut for half a century. But in recent weeks, scientists pierced the metal tube to reveal what's inside. Mashable spoke with these researchers, clad in their white clean-room attire, via a video chat just after they'd collected rare moon gases from sample 73001

I knew that Disney’s Turning Red is about teen angst in 2002, but I did not expect to relate to it as deeply as I did. Turning Red follows 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian, Meilin Lee (Rosalie Chiang) as she grapples with her changing body — not in the usual ways, but in the form of the giant red panda, which she turns into if she feels any strong emotion.

But even if something called "E3" gets announced, it's not the in-person exhibition that was already cancelled back in January.

Because, as Barry Green, a taste perception scientist at Yale University told Live Science , “hot coffee releases more aromatic compounds than room-temperature coffee…[and] milk, coffee's frequent companion, tastes worse at room temperature.

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?
