With a VR headset, a high-quality motion rig, and good haptic gear, roller coaster enthusiasts can now get a similar experience right in the comfort of their own homes. Growing up, I always looked forward to our annual family vacation to one of the Six Flags amusement parks in Texas, Astroworld in particular being a standout. That park had one of the biggest and fastest wooden coasters in the 80s, the Texas Cyclone.

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.

Before this year, I had no real opinion on cave exploration. After those videos? To say I had an unflattering opinion of those of us that choose to risk life and limb to explore dark and uninviting ground fissures would be an understatement.

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?
