Contextualization is crucial in learning design, especially for eLearning programs. Effective localization involves meaningful translation, appropriate tone, context-specific content, local experts, and culturally adapted visuals.

  • enhancing learning solutions

  • streamlining workflows

  • implementing enterprise-wide training programs.

The article emphasizes the importance of integrating genAI with existing tools and conducting thorough needs analyses to maximize effectiveness and prepare for the future of work.
