Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hello Everyone. My name is Tracy McLean. I am looking forward to completing this cohort and learning more about AI Assistant in Rise and Storyline. 

I am located in a small town, Fayetteville, North Carolina.  If you have ever heard of Fort Bragg, we are adjoining neighbors. 

I work for Versant Health, where our purpose is making healthy vision a reality for everyone! At Versant Health, I am an Instructional Designer.  I'm responsible for working closely with our internal partners in designing and developing high quality training programs.

I joined the AI Assistant training cohort to learn more about using AI in designing and developing eLearning courses in both Rise and Storyline.

I do not have a pet but I'm hoping to be a future fur baby mom soon!

Hey there! 👋 My name is Pamela and I live in Western North Carolina.

I'm a Senior Learning Experience Designer at Traliant. On any given day I'll be working in Storyline on course templates, customization, and accessibility; along with making high-level design & UX decisions for our products. 

Cosmo is my Blue Heeler mix, who takes his job of monitoring my daily activities very seriously (if you know, you know 😉). 

I'm most interested in discovering ways we can leverage AI Assistant to create more efficient development cycles while maintaining high quality results.

I'm looking forward to participating in this cohort and learning collaboratively with everyone. 

Hi all! My name is Caroline and I'm located in beautiful Montreal, Canada. I'm a Senior ID at Dayforce, an AI-powered people platform - working full time on the Government of Canada project! I joined this AI cohort, because much like all of you, AI is part of my everyday reality, and the more I know, the better. I enjoy a challenge, keeping up with the changes in our industry and staying relevant. :-) 

Introducing Rosco, our 10 year old Chihuahua, the absolute best doggo! Here he's taking a little break from a day full of exploring Charlottetown PEI last summer.

 

Hi all! I'm so excited about this program I can hardly stand it!

I work for Kaiser Permanente (15 years) as a Design & Documentation Consultant IV, Technical Training, but have been working in instructional design and technical training for a little over 30 years (from manufacturing to healthcare). I spend a lot of time building eLearning and figuring out how to turn complex, regulated content into something that actually works for adult learners.

In the past year+, I’ve been really interested in how AI supports design and development in smart, practical ways, and I’m excited to be here learning alongside other designers.

Fun facts: I have 12 grandchildren, which explains both my patience and my coffee habit—and I also have two dogs, Roxy and Autumn, who keep things lively at home. 

 

Hi everyone, I am Tina and I am based near London in the UK.
I work for a software company and create technical training on our complex proprietary software where no two systems seem to be the same!
I fell into e-learning and love to make complex topics understandable for all!
My focus is ensuring the customer has the tools to enable them get what they need from the products they have purchased.

Below is a rare stationary image of my dog Luna (Vizsla x Weimaraner). 
She is supposed to be my daughters dog but loves me more! 

 

Hey everyone! I’m Rob, based in London, and I work for a charity that supports people facing gambling-related harm. I’m a Learning Technologist, and on any given day, you’ll find me managing our learning platform, developing digital learning resources, and providing support across the organisation from an L&D perspective.

I joined this AI Assistant Certification Cohort because I want to explore how AI can help me improve the quality of my work and create better experiences for our learners. I'm excited to learn and see what’s possible!

Hey there! I'm Adry, located in Costa Rica. I currently work as an Instructional Designer at Roche. I want to become a master Jedi in Articulate AI. 

Meet  Alcachofa (Terreneitor for short) Pepinillo (aka Pepi le pug).

Hello,

I am Krista Clanin, located in Zionsville, IN. I was a K-12 teacher, administrator, and instructional coach for 30 years. Now, I am a corporate trainer for Lincoln Tech.  I train all new hires in the foundations of teaching, and I provide ongoing professional development to all instructors.  I am continually developing new training materials for my instructors.

We have a Mini-Golden, a mix of a Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel.  He is a little over 1 year old, but this picture was taken when he was 6 months old.

Gus AKA Fussy Gussy

 

Hi, I'm Shanelle! Currently, I work for a restaurant concept, designing and developing training and managing the LMS. Throughout my years in L&D I have held various roles across multiple industries and have used a few different eLearning authoring tools, but Articulate is by far my favorite! 

I've been using some features of Articulate's AI Assistant, but look forward to identifying more opportunities to utilize its features to support my workflow. 

I currently live in North Carolina (I've actually moved here 3 times 🙃)!

Hey there everyone  👋🏾

Lovely to e-meet you all, I'm Richard located in London (England) working for the Financial Times as a "Training & Growth Manager" for our Customer Contact Centres, which essentially means I manage a team of trainers and recruiters who design and deliver F2F/Virtual and Online Learning, and go out and find the best members to join our teams!

Really looking forward to starting the course and learning more about using AI with Articulate - we've dabbled a bit within the team and on 360 and rise, curious what else is now possible with the updates, also hearing how others have used AI to create more engaging content 😃
