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 ability to add 3D content to your website is here, and if you’re a retailer you should seriously consider doing so. However, I’d be lying if I told you 3D images are an excellent opportunity for every business because not all businesses benefit from them equally. Highly standardized products with potential for customization, like furniture, are among those that reap the greatest rewards with 3D content.

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?
