A new prototype experience brings the infamous Nintendo 64 game to life on headsets , and it’s not half-bad… In May of 1999, Superman 64 launched on Nintendo 64 consoles. Despite impressive sales, the third-person action game was universally panned by critics, who labeled it as one of the worst video games of all time due to poor controls, a brutally simplistic plot, and a myriad of other unignorable issues.

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.

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?
