Week 1 Welcome & Introductions
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 soon!
Hello, my name is Tracy Parker, and I am a Project Manager IV in Sales and Account Management at Kaiser Permanente, California Region. I have been in this role for four years, but prior to that, I worked as a Design & Delivery Consultant (instructional designer) for Kaiser. Although I stepped into a PM role, my passion has always been learning and development. Prior to my current role, I have worked as an instructor, technical writer, and instructional designer for more than two decades.
In reading through some of my cohort members' descriptions of their work, I get jealous because I long to be doing instructional design work again full-time. :( Anyhow, I do get to do some design work in my PM role, which makes me very happy. Since knowing how to use AI tools is increasingly important in the field of Learning & Development, I wanted to use this opportunity to sharpen my eLearning design skills so that when I return to the field full-time, I won't be behind my peers.
I look forward to learning alongside the rest of the group and seeing and hearing how everyone will use this new tool in their work.
No doggie picture. Sorry. :(
Hi Tracy, welcome to the cohort! It sounds like you have a great plan, to build your design skills so that you'll be ready when the next opportunity strikes. I hope you learn a lot over the next couple of weeks to help you on your journey! 😀
Thanks, Mel!
