Gaming’s earliest first person shooter makes its way to VR headsets in this lovingly-crafted fan recreation. Did you ever hear the story of 1993’s Wolfenstein 3D Virtual Reality StarterKit 1 ? It’s not a story iD Software would tell you.

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.
