Welcome & Introductions

Hi everyone! I'm Cody, and I am an associate technical training developer for Panduit. I am located in Illinois, and my work involves developing technical training for sales, partners, and employees. I have been in this field for almost 2 years now and recently earned a degree in training and development.

I’m excited to embark on this Certification Cohort and learn how to better leverage the AI assistant!

Hello! I am Donna Dubin, located in NYS (Go Bills!🏈) and I am the content creator for my company's on-line learning academy. Although I learned Storyline many years ago, I have been enjoying building with Rise. I use an AI tool what feels like all the time (can I even form my own sentence anymore? 😂) Looking forward to the next couple of weeks and learning to use the AI tools in Articulate. Tammy and Nancy, my grandson is in the Tri-Cities area, so absoultey love spending time in that beautiful country.

Hey all! I’m Shannon Miller from Rochester, NY. I’m a Learning Strategist, former ID, at Excellus BCBS. My day-to-day revolves around connecting with the different areas of our decentralized learning org, creating resources on how to implement learning best practices, and am currently developing 508 Compliance training content which will reach our ID’s, trainers, and others outside of learning as well.

I joined this cohort hoping to find tips to improve efficiency when developing content and learn more about when AI is the best approach vs when it’s optimal to stick with a manual approach.  

I get to work from home with this goofy little dude, Duncan, my 3yr old mini labradoodle 😊

Hi! My name is Landy and I am located in central Oklahoma! I work for True Group, Inc. as an Sr. Interactive Developer. I like to say I get to play with Legos as my job!! I bring pieces like script, graphics, audio, etc. and put them together like Lego pieces to build an interactive learning experience!!

I joined this cohort to learn more about AI. Specifically interested in AI prompting with all the new AI tools and Articulate features surrounding AI. I am hoping this course will improve my skills and learn new skills to use in my job and my personal time!

I do not have pets so here is a picture of me eating Animal Crackers!!!

Aloha everyone!  I'm Cassie, Senior Program Manager at SanMar, overseeing all of learning and development located in Issaquah, WA (same state as Alyssa). 

I'm excited to join this journey of learning with all of you and looking forward to seeing what new knowledge and skills I can pick up.  Can't wait to see what everyone creates and designs.

Here's a picture of my furry child.  Looking forward to connecting with everyone.

Hello cohort! 

I'm so excited to be here. My name is Larissa, located in DeKalb Illinois, and I am a Sr. Learning Architect at SailPoint. I started at SailPoint in November of last year joining a new team that will be reimaging our customer education offerings to be less product driven and more role or persona focused. My fellow Sr. Learning Architects are also in this cohort. I'm really looking forward to learning how AI can help me work even more efficiently and creatively when using Articulate. Finally, the most important part of this post, my fur babies picture!

Hi! I'm Amanda. The black dog in this photo is Bruce Wayne; he is my 7.5 yr old Cane Corso. Next to him his cousin, Sady Lady. My twin sister lives on my street and this is her dog, so naturally they are besties. 

I work at ChristianaCare in Delaware as a Senior Instructional Designer with over 15 years of experience. I have an extensive background in video production and editing so I incorporate that into my training and development for the various projects that come about at the hospital. 

I use Storyline for my everyday work to develop new training materials, update old ones, or to bring something that was face to face to live in our LMS. I am eager to learn more about how to use the AI features within Storyline to speed up and enhance my workflows. I already use the AI voice features for narration in my courses but am excited to learn even more. 

Hi everyone,

I'm Aishna, joining from the beautiful British Columbia, Canada. I work in retail industry as a Learning Specialist. In my career so far, I have been responsible for onboarding, leadership development, and overall program management. Recently I had a role change and now I support process training for audience in retail, corporate, and distribution centers. My day-to-day includes collaborating with SMEs, designing eLearning using Articulate RISE, visiting stores, and supporting key L & D programs by facilitating core leadership topics. 

My next steps are to develop my skillset in Storyline and in understanding how I can augment learning design with the use of AI. I am in this AI certification to understand how can I leverage AI assistant in RISE & Storyline in my everyday work. Not focussed on speed of development per se, but rather on healthy context rich integration of AI in overall storytelling while creating impactful learning experiences.

And, this is Neil, my soon-to-be 2 year old son. He keeps me inspired through and through :)

Hi Everyone! I'm Courtney Sedlezky, and I live in Ontario, Canada. I’ve worked in Learning & Development for the past 10+ years and am currently working in home healthcare as an L&D Specialist. We’re actively building a learning culture at work, and I am excited to learn smart ways to make our standard practices more efficient while also keeping pace with the influx of training requests by using Articulate’s new AI tools.  I have a soft spot for Rise and love its classic style and simplicity.

Check out our family fur friend, Mr. Freddie Mercury. A true rockstar at heart. He’s selectively social and will not allow for cuddles unless it was his idea (and not shy about letting you know when he’s had enough).

Hey All, Curt Franklin with Liberty Mutual... eLearning specialist based in Boston, but working from Beaverton, Oregon. I hope to learn how to more easily and successfully implement additional/alternative functionality to Storyline in our firewalled environment.
