Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hello, everyone! I’m Dr. Sherry Stancil, a communication professor and instructional designer from Madison, Alabama. I teach public speaking and interpersonal communication at Calhoun Community College, where I also develop online courses, interactive learning experiences, and faculty training resources. Much of my current work focuses on using AI, HTML, SCORM, automation, and instructional design to create engaging, accessible learning experiences in Canvas. I have also used Articulate Storyline and Rise in corporate projects.

I joined the Articulate AI Assistant Certification Cohort because I want to strengthen my skills with Articulate’s AI features and explore how they can support faster, more effective course development. I am particularly interested in improving my workflows for developing accessible content, meaningful interactions, assessments, and SCORM-based learning experiences.

Since I do not have a dog or cat to feature in my get-to-know-me picture, I chose a waterfall instead! I used to enjoy hiking and exploring places like this, but since COVID, I have spent far more time glued to my computer than walking a trail. I am hoping the waterfall will at least remind me that I need to get back outside occasionally. 😊

I’m excited to learn from everyone, exchange ideas, and see what we create together!
