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 human touch has become a taboo. This damned virus has given a shoulder to the whole sharing economy from transport to accommodation, inevitably passing through restaurants. Distance, mask, relationships, everything is disposable today. So how to manage in a bar or restaurant that precious communication object that is the menu? How to find new forms of engagement when the waiter, who was previously the business card of the restaurant, is now viewed with distrust?

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?
