Welcome & Introductions

Hi everyone! Looking forward to this cohort and learning more about the AI features in Articulate!

My name is Melissa, I'm located in northwestern Illinois, and I'm a relatively new Instructional Designer for Liberty Mutual Insurance. I just graduated with my Masters in Instructional Design in October of last year and my first introduction to Articulate was during an internship with MCIRN/University of Nebraska's School of Nursing to assist them with creating microlearning courses for nursing preceptors. Currently (with Liberty), I'm part of a rebranding project, which involves updating all of our existing Rise/Storyline files. Once that's done, I'll be creating more content from scratch for our new hire training programs.

I joined this cohort because I already use some of the AI features within Articulate, and other AI programs like GPT in my work, and so I want to ensure I'm keeping up with the rapid pace of change in this space and that I'm using the AI tools effectively.

I have two pets at home, one furry and one scaly. I have my soul-dog Arya (a 3 year old shepherd mix) who travels everywhere with me, and a 6 year old bearded dragon Drogon, who is perfectly content to stay at home on his basking rock.
