Hello! My name is Ryan Dykstra, Training Specialist for Molex. I am part of the quality department, and a big part of my role is making sure that our audits go well. We have a AS9100 Aerospace Certification and there are strict guidelines that need to be followed for training.
I have a good amount of experience with GenAI and am excited to dive deeper into using it with Articulate! I am looking forward to learning more about different ways of using AI with the Articulate software.
I have a cat at home 😸
So happy you've joined the cohort, Ryan! What tool have you been primarily using for building content -- Rise or Storyline?
Hi Alyssa! The main tool that I use for building content is Storyline. One of the main things I use it for is taking PowerPoint presentations that the quality department creates and converting them into videos/classes.
Hi everyone! My name is Cindy Chamberlain, Instructional Design Manager for the CPG L&D Team. I'm excited to be part of this AI Cohort. I'm especially interested in how AI can be a practical, responsible partner in learning design - helping us work smarter, improve learner experience, and create more international solutions.
I joined this cohort to learn from others, share ideas, and explore ways to apply AI in real L&D workflows.
Looking forward to learning together!
You've come to the right place, CindyChamber482! Glad you're here 😊
Hello! My name is Gail Kuestersteffen and I'm a Senior Compliance Analyst for Koch Capabilities, but I support Koch Minerals & Trading/Koch Ag & Energy Solutions for all things training related. My main function is training administration, but I work with all areas of the business, from fertilizer plants to office employees, and frequently get asked to create new content. This can amount to really quick courses to multiple lesson content.
I joined this certification cohort to (hopefully) learn how to do all things related to content easier.
I have one dog at home and while I don't have any pictures of her handy, she's a 12-year-old doberman/golden retriever mix who is an 80lb lap dog (whenever she can get away with it).
Welcome, gailkues! Excited you've joined this cohort! I don't think I've seen a doberman/golden retriever mix, but I bet she's beautiful! If you do get a photo in the future, be sure to come back and share it with me.
Hello everyone, my name is Dan and I am an Instructional Designer with the CPG ID Team. I wanted to be a part of the cohort to be able to stay current with the ever-changing world of Instructional Technology/Design as well as gain proficiency with AI tools that are available to us. This is Ms. Phoenix, she is a black lab and her favorite activities include frisbee, treats, and making sure Dad stay on schedule for her breaks and treats.
Hi there, dcox370! Excited you're here! How long have you been using Articulate tools? Do you typically prefer using Rise or Storyline?
Good Morning AlyssaGomez I have been working in Articulate since around 2013/14, I received a certificate from ATD in 2016. I have more design time in Storyline and like the added depth of tools, but like the ease and quickness of design in Rise, just wish it was easier to manipulate some of the blocks in Rise.
Hi everyone! I'm so excited to get to know each of you over the next few weeks! 👋 I'm Alyssa, the Training Program Manager at Articulate. I've been so fortunate to be a part of the Articulate team for the past 10 years, and I love teaching our customers new and creative ways to use our tools.
I'm located in Bellingham, WA 🌲 but I'm a native Texan at heart. I share my home office with two cuties, Basil (airedale terrier) and Remi (wirehaired pointer). I'd love to see photos of your pets, as well!
I'm excited to dive in to the AI Assistant with you next week!
What part of Texas Alyssa? I lived in ATX and SATX for 7.5 years and traveled to many of the other parts of the state while I lived there.
dcox370 I am from Houston originally, but Austin is my favorite city in TX!
