Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hi All, I am an Instructional Designer in Medical Education. I'm looking forward to learning more about how Articulate's AI tools can speed up my workflows for module creation, especially the new voiceover tools. I spend a lot of my day-to-day doing curriculum and course development and multimedia design for learning. 

Hello everyone! My name is Leisa, and I’m a Senior Trainer for a law firm in the Kansas City metro area. I’m excited to deepen my understanding of how to partner with AI to enhance my training development skills. While we currently use AI within Storyline, we’re only beginning to explore what it’s truly capable of.

Hi everyone!

I'm Sean Wright, based on the Space Coast of Florida. 🚀

I work at Blue Origin as an Instructional Designer. My day-to-day involves blending instructional design (with the help of generative AI tools of course! 😜) to build engaging technical training programs.

I joined this cohort because I am fascinated by the intersection of AI and L&D. I'm hoping to sharpen my AI literacy and learn new, practical ways to integrate AI into instructional systems and performance analytics... especially with Articulate tools.

No pets, but I have a 3 year old that keeps my wife and I quite busy. His name is Sevan!

Looking forward to learning with you all! 😊

Hi from France 🇫🇷 everyone !  I am 54. And I am at the head of a huge 1 employee society (myself 😅) . My main job is to train workers in retail business, espacially in garden centers and Diy shops.  I designed some elearning with storyline for 2 major agriculture parners. (potatoes, farming grass).

I'd love to finish a program about indoor plants and flowers, for I lived 20 years near Mauritius Island (reunion island). 

I also work on AR projects, virtual visit, 3DGS, and I am ready to use it in Storyline, and it already works well in Rise.

Using AI will help me a lot For I spend to much time in design, character animation, TTS.. !

I have a wonderfull persian car for 15 years ! ("caramel", it's a name of sugar candy)

Hi all! I am a Nurse Manager in a clinical education department at a Kaiser Permanente NCAL facility. My responsibilities include leading a fabulous team of nurse educators that support staff onboarding, classroom instruction, simulation-based skills training, nurse professional development, and online learning development. I am focused on improving the efficiency of online learning creation to enhance productivity and better support the clinical teams we serve.

Hello, my name is Kate. I’m located in Fort Collins, Colorado, and work remotely for the Central California Alliance for Health in Santa Cruz, California. It’s exciting to see so people from all over the world in this forum!  I’m an instructional designer who builds internal learning solutions for an organization of approximately 700 employees.

I joined this cohort because I’m an avid user and strong proponent of AI in my everyday life. I even have a personal AI agent named Pepper Potts who keeps me on track by updating me twice daily on everything I need to do to keep my family running smoothly.

My goal in joining this cohort is to deepen my ability to leverage AI in my instructional design work. I’m particularly interested in using AI to scaffold information more effectively, design robust and strategically aligned training experiences, enhance my visual design skills, and continuously apply best practices in learning science.

Hi everyone,

He's obviously the ruler of my house, ha ha!

I'm Dr. Diana S. Perdue and I'm the Senior Instructional Designer at Regis College. I work in the Center for Instructional Innovation (CII) along side my partner in crime, er, work, Christine, who's our Director of Faculty Development. We're a small (but mighty) team that support our faculty in all things including our LMS (Moodle v 4.5). We've been neck-deep in AI related things for a couple years now and I'm very interested to learn more about Articulate's features (thus being in this cohort).

So, I'm excited to learn with you all and looking forward to the next two weeks!

Hello all! 👋 I'm Heather. I’ve been an Instructional Developer for 16 years, with the last 10 at Kaiser Permanente. My team creates online training solutions that teach all levels of healthcare staff how to use their Epic medical record software, technology tools, and workflow processes. We just upgraded our Articulate subscription to include the new AI tools, and I'm looking forward to becoming as proficient as possible. 

I enjoyed looking at all your pet photos. I'm very lucky to work from home with my kitties, Ponyo & Pumpkin.

Hey all!  My name is Myra Lavenue, hailing here from Portland, Oregon, where I work for Kaiser Permanente, Enterprise Learning Dept. I design learning experiences for all kinds of audiences, and I adore making my courses engaging, colorful, and playful when I can. I joined this cohort to sweeten my skills of AI use in Articulate products, because the small pinky toe of use I've already done has blown me away! I cannot wait to learn more.

Here are my sibling cats: Hiro and Luna, who are often right behind me when I am on work calls.

We have been shifting to various AI tools and excited to see how I can continue building by completing this AI Assistant Cohort. 

Can't wait to get started!
