I know of several BC-based rock stars through the forum, but would be interested in meeting more users of Articulate products for possible user group meet up (Vancouver and/or Victoria).
Also would love to know of others who are freelancing in BC, for larger projects.
You can either PM me or comment in the thread if you are BC based.
If you are doing (or want to do) any e-learning work in the health sector, you may want to consider presenting or attending the Canadian Association of Continuing Health Education (CACHE) 2013 Annual Conference in Vancouver on June 11, 2013. There is a good cross-section of health professionals and educators attending so it is an excellent place to make some connections.
The call for abstracts deadline is Feb. 15. You can get more information on the CACHE conference here.
I'm based in Vancouver and use Articulate Studio and Storyline to create lessons for low level ESL students at a non-profit immigrant serving organization. I certainly don't have the skill set that many people on this site have, but I'd be interested in a group meet-up to share ideas and to see what others are doing with the tools.
Yes, I am from Vancouver, BC. I am new to this area and would love to learn more and to share skills with everyone. I bought Storyline 3 weeks ago and have developed my first Storyline tutorial. I have also used Studio for added interactives to the existing courses in the past.
Will touch base about a potential get together. We do have folks from both Vancouver area and Victoria area, and if any of you know others, please direct them my way, so we can plan some face to face interaction.
Is there anyone interested in a casual Articulate users meet-up on Thursday, June 6th in Vancouver? Respond to this thread or through PM if you prefer.
I have beern using Arrticulate Storyline for nearly one year now at Douglas College in New Westminster, B.C.
I would love it if there was other users I could meet up with to discuss issues or workshops. All the workshops for storyline are in the states or back east and am really wanting something here in vancouver or victoria.
I am sure we could get some people together for this... anyone else?
Hi - you didn't miss anything, but now that I know, let's talk! I'll connect with you offline to see what we can arrange. Send me an email to holly@sparkandco.ca if you haven't already...
This is a great discussion and topic, thanks for starting this thread Holly! Hopefully if we can garner enough interest from Articulate users in the BC area, we might be able to hold some type of Articulate event or workshop there.
If anyone else is from the West coast of Canada and would be interested in perhaps taking part in an Articulate event in B.C., please let me know! I'd just like to get a general idea of how much interest there is... Thanks!
I am in Edmonton, but would certainly be interested in attending and / or participating in an event or a user's group meeting in Vancouver.
I am trying to compile a list of Articulate developers in western Canada to provide to my clients as a backup in case I am unable to make future changes to SL projects I have done for them.
Just stumbled across this post. It is a year old. Is anyone doing anyone following up on getting together to talk shop, offer advice, inspire? I'm a teacher living in Richmond, B.C.
Funny because I was thinking about this just the other day. It would be good to try to establish a meet-up; perhaps with meet-ups in both Victoria and Vancouver. Holly, have you done anything else with this?
Did not ever do anything with this, just got bogged down in too much work, but would still LOVE to see event in both Vancouver AND Victoria. Anyone want to take a stab at arranging something for November? Selfishly I'd love to meet everyone!
Sometimes small is better. Trying to organize a big EVENT is difficult. Perhaps 3, 4, or 5 people sitting down in a coffee shop to talk about problems and ideas is enough AT FIRST. I've been half-heartedly poking at Storyline 1 for a while and just bought Storyline 2. I teach English and would love to see what is possible. There's a nice Waves coffee shop in Steveston and they have a large table (as do many coffee shops). If anyone is interested......
Hi Mark - I'm not looking for a large event, but I do live outside of Vancouver (Salt Spring Island), so it would work better for me to plan ahead. I will be on the mainland on November 5th. Staying downtown, but maybe we could find somewhere central for transit users?
Hi all. I would very much like to see a 'meet and greet' take place in Victoria. I can certainly help to arrange/coordinate. Need to measure interest but it would be awesome to connect with people locally that are working with the same tools I am, share some experiences and create new connections. November is out for me but early December works (the week of the 8th or 15th). Let me know as I can pull it together at this end to make it happen.
The week of the 8th is good for me. We could do a late afternoon get together over a couple of beer and some appy's some place downtown. Would be good to see if there is interest - a group of 10 would be ideal so that we can start to get to know each other - the local Articulate users. Perhaps setting up a quarterly users group or something along that line might work.

Hello Holly
I believe we've 'met' in the Freelance forum before... but an actual meetup is a great idea!
I'm based close to Victoria... and use both Studio and Storyline in most of my work.
Karyn
Hey there!
I'm close to Vancouver (in beautiful Surrey) but also have a few Articulate users working with me who would also be interested.
Leah
Hi Karyn and Leah - you are on my list. I'll PM you once I've got a few more (fingers crossed) BCers identified.
Holly

Hey Holly. Count me in...plus it's time for lunch again, no?
Russ - thanks for sharing that info...I'm sure there are some that would be interested in that.
Stephanie - of course you are on my list!
(lunch sounds fab, will PM you)...

Hi Janis - great to meet you. We are pretty lucky to have some super smart folks in our area using Articulate.
I'll add you to "my list" and when we get a few more folks, I'll see what we can arrange. It's great to hear how you are using e-learning as well.
Thanks for reaching out,
Holly

Hi Mikki,
Yeah, I would be interested. I missed the date that Holly arranged in June - not sure if that went ahead or not.
Are you thinking of a sort of share session or a more organized training session?

So no takers for November 5th, it seems.
Stephanie I'd be happy to meet up the week of Dec. 8th in Victoria. Since I'd have to take a ferry over, something that ends by 8 pm is best for me.
The week of the 8th is good for me. We could do a late afternoon get together over a couple of beer and some appy's some place downtown.

Hey BC Articulate users!
Thought some of you might be interested in this Call for Speakers for an industry event in Burnaby:
