Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

• First off, so sorry, I am very late, but I will complete the activities, badge or no badge!

• My name is Crystal Dunham, and I’m based in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. I work at The Co-operators as a Learning Development Specialist, where I create e-learning for insurance professionals. On my team, Learning Experience Designers act as the architects of the design, and they pass it to myself and other developers, who bring the learning to life.

• I've joined this because I want to figure out ways to help designers with prompts and work with them to build efficiencies. It's difficult because they do not have access to the articulate tools, but I am hoping this opens the door to some collaboration. 

• I have two doggos—Macy (on the floor) and Ripley (in my arms). Sorry, the only photo I had on my computer included me too. Not exactly the ask… but here I am, lol.

Hello, I'm Brian Coady, a learning and development lead at AstraZeneca in Newark, Delaware. I currently work on developing content for support training for our site, promoting training development best practice and monitoring/implementing training compliance. 

I joined the cohort to improve my use of AI in course development and to see how it can be used more effectively. 

Hi everyone! My name is Ani, and I’m based in Florida. I work as an eLearning Senior Multimedia Developer and Creative Lead, where I focus on developing engaging learning experiences through multimedia design, eLearning development, and creative strategy.

I joined the AI Cohort to learn how AI can enhance content creation, streamline workflows, and improve the overall learning experience. I’m especially interested in discovering practical ways to integrate AI into my day-to-day work, collaborate more efficiently, and create more impactful and engaging training solutions.

I’m excited to learn alongside everyone and explore new ideas and applications for AI in learning and development!

Simba in a box!

Hi All; 
Joining the cohort late; was wrapping up a project

I joined the cohort for the buzz of AI. AI in ID is already speed up the game. Looking to learn more about the tips and tricks we have up the sleeve.

Wish I could share about a pet. Last i checked with my parents about having a pet; they said i have a brother. Wish to foster a real one someday.

Hi, I'm a bit late joining in due to holidays. My name is Donna and I'm based in Leeds (UK). I work remotely for a facilities management company and am responsible for creating and managing training content (eLearning, user guides, short videos...) and programmes for various internal systems. 

I joined the AI Assistant Certification Cohort to learn more about how the AI functions can help speed up our processes so we can deliver more for our customers. 

Hello everybody, I didn’t have time to introduce myself earlier—better late than never 😃
I’m Tetyana, working as a Sales Upskilling Professional at CEVA Logistics, based in Germany near Stuttgart. Originally coming from Ukraine. I’m responsible for developing eLearning solutions for our Sales Teams and joined this cohort because I’m really excited about AI features and already using them quite a lot, but I’m eager to learn even more. 😃
I don’t have a pet, but if I did, it would probably look something like this one.

Hello, everyone.
I am Dinnia Aleman, I am an instructional designer at Roche. I would really like to sharpen my skills with AI and would love to participate fully.
Let me introduce you to Lucca and Gia.

Hi All! Nick Curtis from Atlanta, GA. I'm an Instructional Designer for Mercedes-Benz USA. We develop a combination of eLearnings, short videos, face-to-face in-dealer and experiential instructor-led trainings supporting our network of dealers on everything from new/upcoming products and improving the customer experience to soft skills and brand enthusiasm. I'm always interested to learn new tricks of the trade - and that's why I signed up for the cohort. My wife and I have two dogs and three cats at home, so we're greatly outnumbered but they keep us on our toes.
