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.

It turns out that AR isn’t the world-shifting technology it was trumpeted to be in its circa-2017 hype cycle. It’s not a silver bullet in all areas of life and work… but it is proving meaningful and transformative in a few high-value areas such as enterprise productivity and brand marketing. This list will grow, but these are the early leaders where AR is producing real results today (read: revenue).

Hot soup without a stove, coffee without a coffee maker , and whipped cream without a hand mixer are just a few of the tasks these multitasking kitchen appliances can tackle. Similar to the way the mystical Instant Pot replaces a sauté pan or slow cooker , blenders can expand your meal possibilities tenfold without the clutter of multiple machines.

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?
