E-Learning Heroes - Advice and ideas from the Articulate Community

Hi 

I'm in Guildford, Surrey, in the United Kingdom. Looking back, most of my experience is focused around two main industry sectors; Software and Telecommunications. And I now specialise in Business Intelligence products and services - so anything to do with database reporting, analysis of data, data mining, that type of thing. I guess I've stayed in these areas because I know these types of technologies really thoroughly. 

I have tended to be more successful in dealing with larger scale technology roll outs - you know, where the software company develops a new release of their product and the user base or reseller/partner channel needs to be trained.

I seem to have been designing, building and delivering courseware for over 15 years in these two sectors - though it feels like a lot less than that - as there is always something new to learn that keeps things fresh...

I'm working in Leeds, UK as an eLearning Specialist for a languages company. It's mostly internal work - creating compliance training, onboarding materials etc, but I get involved in some pretty exciting projects too. We have no LMS, so I've created a solution using articulate that reports from  a presentation via asp to a database. When I started here, there was no eLearning, and now, nearly 2 years later, we have an eLearning suite full of useful content for the business on an internal HR website, which I also built.

We get busier by the day, so I constantly try t reinvent myself, which is why my solutions these days comprise of a mixture of Articulate, Flash, Web resources, video and Captivate for systems training.

Never a dull moment in the world of L&D! People think I just play all day!!

Hi Wera,

That's weird, I just read your intro and laughed because I also work for a health and safety association whose clients are educators, healthcare workers and municipal employees and I'm in Toronto.  I'm with PSHSA, who are you with?

Not a specific sector, all that can be done in e-learning..

Hi all,

I'm in Antwerp, Belgium (that's in Europe) and I work for a shipping company called Safmarine Container Lines.

In 2010 we implemented a completely new CRM system for our 720 sales staff in 105 countries world wide.  Since we wanted everyone to be trained as quickly as possible, we opted for a functional eLearning course which was followed by coaching on the job.  It worked out very well because I only had to retrain 3 out of 105 countries   And this mostly thanks to Tom Kuhlman and his Rapid Elearning.

From Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Currently working in public sector for SAP Implementation project.
