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.

If you’ve read an article on the internet in the past two years, you’ve probably experienced a Moment. Moments is Verizon Media’s native ad format. It works like this: You’re scrolling and the top of an ad appears at the bottom of the screen. As you scroll down, more and more of the ad takes up the screen until the ad dominates the screen. It’s been a highly effective ad campaign, particularly on mobile devices.

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?
