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.

Back to Blog Page. The roles of Remote Assist are easy to explain compared to Guides. There is always someone onsite and another person remote. In most cases the person on the frontline or onsite is the employee/trainee wearing the HoloLens and the expert is the one working remotely from home or a centralize office. Another scenario we have written about before is when the use case is flipped, and the expert is the one wearing the headset while the employee/trainees are virtual.

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?
