Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hi All! I'm Tricia, a Clinical Educator, official title is Instructional Designer and Developer, at Johns Hopkins Community Physicians. I am everywhere from the classroom teaching new employees, the sim rooms training skills, one of our >50 sites teaching a new skill, or creating elearnings. I want to be more efficient when I create elearnings so I can get the correct information to those who need it.

Here is my favorite pic of Koby, Kraken, and Snickers. 

Hi all.  Tim Hillier from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.  I am now a freelance ID after many years in EMS training and Quality Assurance.  I was on the original beta testing team for Storyline many years ago and have been a huge Articulate fan since before that.  I have been playing a bit with AI in Storyline and Rise, using the built in version along with ChatGPT and Claude to make some interesting interactions.  I look forward to learning more about it.

Hi Everyone 👋 I'm Anita, Training Specialist/Instructional Designer for BHP in sunny Brisbane, Australia. Our team create and maintain online and F2F learning for our Queensland coal mines focused on health, safety and operating discipline. We are embracing Ai and I have thoroughly enjoyed using all the new features on offer to enhance our learning modules. I'm very keen to get more exposure to Storyline for an upcoming project.

No furry coworkers here, but we do have a few resident magpies that pop in and say hello from time to time which my sons have named Steve and Maggie (ifykyk). I look forward to getting to know you all more 🙂

Hello everyone! My name is Brandon, and I work at Roche as a Global Customer Support Senior Specialist in Santa Clara, California. 

I am joining this cohort to learn new methods for streamlining and developing training materials for our products, with the goal of better supporting our affiliates and customers.

Hi everyone! I'm Elizabeth Kuhlmann and I'm in Tacoma, WA! I work at Yukon Learning and I teach Storyline, Rise, and I build courses. Looking to see what others are doing with AI Assistant and sharpen my own skills.

This is Ole, my 13 year old (non-AI) assistant.

Hi! I'm Sabrina, joining from a suburb of St. Paul, MN. I work as an ID creating courses for employees who serve residents in our 60+ senior living communities. We create a lot of healthcare regulatory training along with other custom content that relates to our organization. I look forward to learning how to better use the AI tools articulate offers. My home office mate Kona is a pure bred good girl and professional foot warmer.

Ciao, Kristina Marrone here, from NCAL Kaiser Permanente, working for the Program Offices, remotely. I am a Design & Delivery Consultant IV but my most favorite title I'm called is MOM to two beautiful girls (ages 10 and 13). 

Right now, I'm helping prepare content, develop curriculum, and eventually help rollout a new timekeeping & scheduling product throughout KP nationally. 

I joined the cohort to strength my design skills because my documentation and delivery are already pretty strong. 

Looking forward to learning from you all!! Btw, here is my coworker that sleeps on the job, eats my snacks, and stares at me all day (Leo):

Hello! My name is Tara and I work for a K-12 School District in Alaska.  One of the functions of my job is to create end-user training for the various software applications used in the district.    I joined this cohort to learn more about how the AI Assistant can elevate my course design and interactions.  

Here is a picture of my cat Emmy and her pirate face.  

Hi everyone! I’m really excited to be part of this cohort. My name is Jam, and I’m based in the Philippines. I work for an Australian company as a Learning Designer, where I focus on designing compliance courses as well as some technically focused, audit-related learning programs.

I joined this AI Assistant Certification Cohort because I want to grow my knowledge of AI and learn how to use it in a responsible, well-informed way. I’m hoping to get practical ideas I can apply to my work and feel more confident using AI as part of my learning design process.😊

Hi everyone, I'm Beck and I'm an L&D specialist working in the tourism sector. I'm located in the Blue Mountains outside Sydney, Aust.

I'm the lone L&D resource in my organisation so my role involves developing online and F2F courses, facilitation, managing the LMS, identifying skills gaps and more (as I'm sure most of you are too!) I've been using Articulate for more than 10 years but mainly use Rise. I'm very interested in using AI to streamline my work and allow me to respond more quickly to the learning needs of the business.

I share my home with a number of humans, but also these lovely 3 doggos - Larry (large staffy), Bomber (pug) and Rico (6 mth old blue staffy).
