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.

They don't have a surface, like a planet or a star. They're only visible when their shadows creep across something bright in the sky. And, if that weren't unsettling enough, they serve as galactic pool drains, sucking celestial material that comes too close toward a point of no return. Black holes: not your everyday death traps. During a star's death, an enormous amount of solar material collapses onto itself, packing tightly into a small space.

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?
