Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hello my name is Erin Marie Craven. I am currently located in Baltimore, MD, but spent most of my life in NE Ohio! I work as a Senior Talent Specialist at ESAB and am the only content creator for our corporate team. I am looking forward to learning more about how AI capabilities can help me create even better learning for my company.

Unfortunately, I do not currently have any pets after losing my sweet Ceci about 1 year ago after having 17 years together. But, still...here's a picture of her. 😘

Hi everyone! I’m Rachel from Orlando, FL. I’m an Instructional Designer at AssistRx, where I spend most of my time building interactive trainings, simulations, games, and AI-powered learning experiences for onboarding and employee training.

I joined this cohort because AI has become a huge part of how I work and create. I’ve been using it a lot for design, workflow automation, and even building learning tools, so I’m excited to get better at creating AI assistants in a more intentional and practical way. Looking forward to learning from everyone here!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Noel and I work as a clinical educator at Kaiser Permanente, Orange County.  I have worked in Articulate Storyline as an authoring tool for our training content but really am interested in the AI component of designing and creating more alongside it.  There's so much more to learn and to have AI make projects more efficient and smoother.  Looking forward to "hanging" out with everyone here.

Sorry no pets at the moment.

Hi everyone! I'm Amanda, a Senior Learning Experience Designer working at OneTrust! My day-to-day focus is really around developing accessible eLearning courses to help our Customers and Partners learn how to use our products. We're in a bit of a transitionary period right now with a huge focus on using AI to help us streamline content creation and internal processes, so taking this course very closely aligns with our departmental, and company, goals for this year.

My main goal for this course is to really find ways to use AI built into Rise to help us speed up our course production. From the little I've used AI in Rise so far, I'm already really impressed with the impact it unlocks for us! Excited to see what else is in store!

Hello, Anam Mughal from Atlanta, Georgia!

I’m a Learning Experience Designer at a large pediatric healthcare organization, passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that drive behavior change and improve patient care and I am hoping that this cohort will provide me with the skills I need to make that happen.

Hi everyone, I am joining from downtown Chicago and work as an Education Manager for AHRMM, a professional membership group of the American Hospital Association. I am excited to learn about how AI can improve and enhance my course building in Articulate. 

Hello! 

My name is Emma. I am an Associate Account Development Representative. I work with our global distributors. I work from home and am based in Maryland. I am close enough to work at the Delaware AGX site on some workdays. I previously had three Quality Assurance internships there. I joined this cohort so I can better assist in the development of our distributor's training program.

I am actually adopting a cat this Friday!! I'm super excited. 😽

I can't wait to see what this cohort holds! I'm eager to talk to talk to some of the others in the group!

Hello-I'm Cindy a Clinical Nurse Specialist/Nursing Professional Development in San Jose, California. I work for a hospital and do education and project management. There are tons of opportunity to use tailored, interactive platforms to educate and socialize the information and materials related to the content we need to deliver. I educate on a variety of topics from clinical updates, nursing workflows, new equipment for three different nursing departments. This can also involve MD, and support staff. I am hoping to better understand how to get a streamlined, concise, engaging way to deliver all the content without recreating the wheel/spending tons of time.  No pet because I have no time to care for them, but maybe after this class there is hope!  Cheers
