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.

Picking the right motherboard when building a PC is essential. While the CPU may be the brains of the build, and a hefty GPU will provide the graphical brawn, it’s the motherboard that ties it all together - and the chipset that the mobo uses determines what processor you can use. If you’re looking to harness the power of Intel’s latest 13th generation Core processors for your next build, then MSI’s range of B760 motherboards should be your first port of call.

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?

This is the nature of the “hype cycle” that those of us who follow the latest developments in technology have become very accustomed to. New ideas get a lot of attention – not always of the right sort – then the excitement dies off when something even newer emerges.
