Hello! My name is Courtney and I am a Learning Experience Designer at Baptist Health. I am located in Berea, Kentucky and work remotely. We partner across our system to design high-quality, practical learning experiences. I joined this Cohort to gain more knowledge and skills on what Articulate has to offer and how I can utilize those features with my future projects.
Here are a few of our pets! ❤️ (We also have a Chameleon and a Leopard Gecko) We have Roxy Cat, the dogs are Lily and Sadie, the horse is Lacey, and the bearded dragon is Draco!
You've got a full house, CourtneyMcFe382! So glad you're here, and I'm excited to learn along with you!
AlyssaGomez along with a 3 year old and an 8 month old little boys! Our hands and hearts are definitely full! 💕
Hello everyone—great to meet you all!
I’m from Calgary, Canada, just a short drive from the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I love staying active and enjoy a wide variety of activities like hiking, biking, and pickleball.
I’ve been in the learning and development industry for many years and truly love how much it continues to evolve. I’m currently an Instructional Designer in the oil and gas sector, where I focus on creating engaging learning content.
I joined this cohort to really develop my skills using AI in Articulate Storyline and Rise, and I’m looking forward to learning and experimenting with everyone.
Meet Jasper —he’s 16 years old and absolutely rules the roost!
Looking forward to the upcoming weeks!
I am from Manitoba! I have always been curious as to the training involved in that industry. I would bet it is very full filling as that is some life and death stuff you are dealing with! Maybe someday when I look to change employers, I'll be looking for something like this!
Hi everyone! I'm Michelle Catalano. I'm a Senior Training Consultant at Wolters Kluwer. I'm responsible for creating a delivering both in-person and online training, although in the past 3 years, it's heavily in the online training. I've used the AI Assistant but I know there are things I am missing and I want to know tips and tricks from fellow trainers. Also, like most of us, I don't have much dedicated time to sit down and train myself so this type of experience kind of forces me to do so🤭 I have two dogs: Loki and Thor. They are actually blood brothers with the same mother and father:
Hello! My name is Heather Gustin. I work as a Learning Consultant in the oil & gas industry. I am taking this course to stay abreast on AI tools and resources that are storming the content development world! I look forward to learning with and from everyone! Bonus - I am "the cat lady" with 4 cats! I seem to be collecting them from other family members! 😉
Hi everyone, my name is Jesi and I’m based in Fort Worth, Texas. I work at JPS Health Network as a Senior Learning Technology Consultant in Clinical Education. I’m a master's prepared, Registered Nurse and clinical educator with 25 years of experience.
I have been designing eLearning for about 11 years. Day to day, I design and build eLearning for nursing staff, including developing interactive modules, creating simulations, and translating clinical workflows and policies into training that’s practical and usable at the bedside. I’m also currently a graphic design student and a first-time ADDY award winner.
I'm a bit of a tech nerd and love the AI revolution because it truly has helped my course development, especially since I work solo as the only clinical ID for a large hospital system.
I joined this AI Assistant Certification Cohort to learn more about AI and how it can be used as a design assistant in my everyday workflow to improve content delivery and efficiency.
Shoutout to all my healthcare eLearning peeps—I'd love to connect on LinkedIn - Jesi Swank LinkedIn. Looking forward to learning alongside everyone. Below are our three little knuckleheads...
Little beasties are the best. :)
Hi everyone! I'm Aveline, from Montréal, Canada. I currently work for the national public broadcaster Learning & Development team. I was a teacher and trainer for several and made the jump to ID a few years ago. Now I develop e-learning courses for our staff and I help our learning consultants select the right resources.
As part of my current tasks, I have to explore and test how AI can help us create, improve, make our work easier and more efficient. That's why I'm really excited to be part of this cohort to get some new tricks and share with the community.
And here's a pic of my two mischievous fur balls, Moushtik and Miigwetch!
I am a Manitoban and I too was a teacher who made the jump to adult learning quite a while ago!
Good Morning! My name is Kaylene Wance and I work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (aka I work for the state). My job is a little meta - not only do I create/develop/distribute eLearning, but I also teach other developers how to do it too! My strengths are in Instructional Design, graphics and Storyline. If I can think it, I can probably figure out how to make it work.
I've been using generative AI with eLearning for about 2 years now. Since I have my generative AI trained pretty well, I've been relying on that but, I'm interested to see what else the AI Add on can do! I've noticed I get myself stuck thinking it can only do XYZ but I'm limiting myself without realizing.
Below is my dog Phlox. She has regularly become a little easter egg in my builds (she's committed interal fraud, worked in a ranger's office and much more). I also have a orange cat named Kit who doesn't know he's actually a cat.
Hello everyone. I am looking forward to this course. I am a Learning Experience Designer for Baptist Health based in Louisville, Kentucky for 11 years. I develop mostly clinical education but in the last year started to do a mix of other project based on need. We moved to Articulate a couple of years ago, and I want to continuously improve my skills and expand my creativity knowing AI is going to be an integral part of that. Our team has embraced it and wants learn more.
Meet my crew! Bella is in the foreground, and Marvin and Duke (dog) are best pals.
Hi! I am Senior Learning Experience Designer for Baptist Health in Kentucky. My day-to-day consists of creating e-learning modules for our employees. I want to learn how to better use the Articulate AI Assistant. I find myself defaulting to ChatGPT instead of using Articulate's AI.
I split my time between NY and CT and work for a managed vision care company. I manage an amazing team of trainers and instructional designers; we develop and deliver content for call center agents, claims processors, sales and client management and leadership development. Our ISDs and I are participating in this cohort together so we can learn together and then apply what we've learned as a team. We've been exploring AI and are excited to learn how to implement into our Articulate projects.
These are my supervisors:
