Week 1 Welcome & Introductions
Hi there! My name is Kerry and I'm located in St. Louis, Missouri. I work at Barry-Wehmiller as the Operations Leader for the People Development Team. I support a variety of programs that fall under the People Development umbrella, including learning + development, talent + performance, recognition, and cultural intelligence. I have been in the learning/LMS/content development space for over 15 years and led Barry-Wehmiller's Workday Learning Implementation project to a successful launch in January 2025.
I joined this cohort because I have been building courses in Rise using the AI Assistant tool for a bit now, but am fairly certain that I have only just scratched the surface of its capabilities. I have not utilized any AI functionality in Storyline as of yet, but am interested in understanding more though I will be primarily building content in Rise.
To be very clear, I am NOT an avid user of AI, in fact I avoid it at all costs in my personal life, but I understand the benefits of quick design/development (where it is beneficial) and am resigned to the fact that AI is here to stay in the business world.
I do not have any pets, but I have a 10 year old daughter who keeps me busy!
Hi there KerryOConnor-92 so glad you've joined us! It sounds like you've been in the industry for a while. How long have you used Articulate tools during your 15 years in the L&D space?
Hi AlyssaGomez! I have been using Articulate tools since about 2014. I taught myself Storyline 2 at a prior employer after they handed me a license and told me to modularize some of our ILT content (with no formal training offered). I found a TON of helpful resources on eLearning Heroes and attended a couple community events here in St. Louis through ATD. I don't work much in Storyline anymore as we have a content developer (DejakaBachman, who is also participating in this cohort!!) but I support in design/development when needed and do a LOT in Rise, specifically with the AI Assistant. :)
