Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hi everyone! I'm excited to learn more about Articulate's AI features and explore how we can use them to work smarter and create even better learning experiences.

My name is Cheryl MacLeod, and I live in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. I'm a Senior Manager at Antea Group USA, an environmental health, safety, and sustainability consulting firm. Whenever our clients need training that can be delivered through their LMS, I'm usually involved. I partner with subject matter experts and clients to develop eLearning courses and videos focused on regulatory and workplace safety topics.

One of the things I love most about my job is that I'm constantly learning something new. Over the years, I've created training on topics ranging from heat stress, bloodborne pathogens, MEWPs, lithium-ion batteries, and confined spaces to workplace violence prevention and sustainability for engineers—just to name a few topics. It definitely keeps things interesting, and I have to admit, I find it much more exciting than the six years I spent developing software training!

I joined this cohort because I'm always looking for ways to improve the quality of my work while reducing development and production time. AI is evolving so quickly, and I'm eager to learn more practical ways to incorporate it into my workflow.

And finally, here's a photo of me and my "home office intern," Louis. He's 17 years old, still going strong, and does an excellent job supervising my work from a comfortable spot nearby. I actually have two furry interns, but the other one has pledged loyalty to my husband's office instead!
