Welcome & Introductions

Hello everyone! I'm Steven 👋  I was recently promoted to Manager, Digital Customer Success Design, where I now lead a team of 3 Learning Experience Designers. I'm still very much in the tools every day, and have been in some sort of L&D role at Thomson Reuters for the last 9 years. Our team creates customer-facing eLearning, ranging from short microlearning videos to full-on courses for Legal Professionals.  

I'm located in Brooklyn, NY, but originally from Dallas, TX. 

Meet Winny, a Great Pyrenees, also from Texas. 

Hello Everyone,

My current position is Health, Safety & Environment - Learning and Development Specialist.

I have been in the learning and development field for 25 years with the last 8 focusing on learning management system administration and content development. 

I have no pets currently but in past too many to name. I have been told that I cannot bring them all home.  I am going to be setting up a bird feeder camera outside to capture the antics of the squirrels and birds and maybe get some funny videos. 

I am looking forward to learning more about the new AI tools that have been recently added in Articulate Storyline and Rise to help facilitate the content creation and to use the tools effectively to drive efficiency and accuracy while providing a quality product.

Hello 👋 I'm Amanda Wellons, I'm a Learning Experience Designer at Thomson Reuters. I live in Arizona 🌵. I have been in L&D for over 10 years, but am new to LXD. I am looking forward to learning more about Articulate in general and it's AI capabilities.

We have two pups, Murphy and Millie. They are both lab/pittie mix rescues from Mexico. 

Hi everyone, my name is Chris Ifill and I'm a Learning Business Consultant at Ascensus. I'm connecting from just outside of Philadelphia PA with my furry 4-legged coworker Lucy always at my side in my home office.   My role involves working with our internal business partners to identify how learning solutions can support their business goals, as well the associated instructional design.  Lucy's role involves quite a bit of napping interspersed with following me to the kitchen for my tea breaks in case there is any snacking happening. 

I use both Rise and Storyline, and I've dabbled in a few AI tools, but I am 100% sure I am underutilizing it, and I am excited to see how these tools can up my game. 

Hello everyone,

I'm Stephanie, from Cornwall Ontario, Canada. I work as a Learning & Development Specialist at Bayshore HomeCare Solutions. In my day-to-day work, I create and support a mix of workshops, job aids, and eLearning modules for teams and branches across the organization. My goal is always to translate real-world service needs into practical, engaging learning materials that help employees build confidence, consistency, and strong client-centred skills they can apply immediately on the job.

I joined this Certification Cohort to expand my knowledge and hands-on skills with Articulate and related tools. I am still new to the learning design world and I’m excited to deepen my technical capabilities so I can build more polished, interactive, and impactful learning products. I’m hoping to apply what I learn directly to my work and to better leverage these tools to create learning experiences that truly support performance and customer service excellence.

Bonus: I have a whole brood who works with me at home 

Hello everyone! My name is Renata. I live in, probably, the windiest state in the US, which is Wyoming. I've been an Instructional Designer for 14 years, started my career in my home country, Lithuania. I am fortunate to be able to work remotely and happy I do not have to deal with challenges while commuting.

I am excited to join this cohort and learn how to utilize AI and all other tools in my daily activities to develop and update our learning materials.

Hello,

My name is Sarah Auman and I work at Cone Health. I have been here for almost 6 plus years, but have been in training and instructional design for around 4.5 years.  I have been using Articulate for a year now and I'm looking forward to this learning opportunity.

I have one pet and her name is Nugget Auman. Look forward to seeing y'all virtually next week. 

I'm Jason, Articulate user/fan since Storyline 2. Live and work in Maryland. Looking forward to doing some hands-on work with Articulate AI Assistant and finding inspiration from others!

Meet Loki! Sheds everywhere. Loves the snow. Thinks he is a lapdog 😆

Greetings! Casy's the name, ID's the game. I'm chiming in here from Charleston, SC on behalf of USAA. I'm an eternal learner and always look for ways to improve my professional skillset. While my name is not Seymore and I don't eat humans, I do want you to FEED ME knowledge! Two rescue dogs at home and always adding more on a short term basis. Sorry no pics currently due to those pesky firewalls. See you all soon!

Hello from snowy Worcester, Massachusetts! I'm a Digital Learning Developer, and I do a lot of learning object creation in Rise, including Storyline blocks. I'm currently trying out the AI lesson creation abilities and I'm excited to learn more about applying the AI tools in Articulate! 

Sharing one of the many pics I have of my WFH office managers 😉 Nathan and Ian.
