- How NOT To Get Lost In Translation<br />

Your toolbox also needs to consider and plan for changing time zones, translation and<br />
localization, cultural sensitivity, language and accents, differing bandwidths and infrastructure,<br />
round-the-clock support, and the appropriate use of colors and graphics to name just a few<br />
additional components.<br />

#349: International Awareness-o-Meter<br />
When launching an e-Learning program globally, it’s important to promote awareness,<br />
community, and learning value. This can be accomplished by targeting three key areas within<br />
the launch plan: 1) marketing & communications – increase awareness and demand for the e-<br />
Learning offering, 2) web development – attract and engage users through online communities,<br />
3) course development – increase learning value through dynamic content.<br />
