Make Yourself Known
Every journey starts with a spark ⚡️
This is yours!
Step in and share who you are, what you’re drawn toward, and what you’re ready to explore. When someone else shares something that catches your attention, don’t just pass by... respond, connect, and let it build into something more.
From here, things start to expand 💫

Hi everyone! I'm Kell, and I'm the Senior Community Programs Specialist here at Articulate ✨ I'm the one behind many of the programs you'll see across the ELH community, including Peer Pods and ELH Rewards (though I definitely wasn't the only one working on ELH Rewards). I design and run programs that bring people together, spark new ideas, and create space to grow and try new things. I’m really excited to see how this unfolds: how connections form, how support builds, and what this becomes over time. Outside of this world, I'm usually on the hunt for a really good coffee shop, planning my next trip, or deep in a history spiral. If you ever want to talk about Henry VIII and his six wives, I will absolutely meet you there. |

Rachael here, great to meet everyone in this program and I'm sure we'll be best buds in no time. My role here is Community Operations and Strategy Manager but that really just means I do a bit of everything when it comes to community building. |

Hi everyone! I’m Katie, Senior Community Engagement & Content Specialist at Articulate. I help create content that spotlights members and the work you share in ELH - from our weekly newsletter and articles like Made by Members to opportunities like How I Built This. I love supporting and elevating our members’ voices, so if you ever have an idea or want to brainstorm, please feel free to reach out! For ELH Rewards, I’ll also be your Mission Coordinator, sharing monthly missions you can complete to earn bonus points. Outside of this space, I’m a mom to a newborn, still learning to adapt to this new kind of chaos. I’m also a pet mom to a golden retriever and two cats. I love a good theme, so you’ll often find me planning get-togethers like my annual Halloween party. I’m excited to be here cheering you on! |

Hi everyone, my name's Jonathan. I'm a long-time member of the ELH Community, and last year I became a Director of New Leaf Technologies, the exclusive Articulate reseller for Africa. I also do contract and freelance work.
I'm a Learning Experience Designer who blends Storyline, Rise and JavaScript to create bespoke experiences. Over the years, I've spoken at DevLearn, CORE4, Learning Indaba, and World of Learning, but I enjoy speaking at Articulate events the most. DavidAnderson gave me my first big break in Manchester, back in 2019!I enjoy reading, movies, travelling, music festivals, going to the gym, and - of course - the E-Learning Heroes Challenges! But I'm on a little sabbatical while I complete a big project and prepare for my session at Articuland London next month.
I live in the UK, in a town called Stourbridge, in the West Midlands. I have been married to my wife, Katy, since 2009, and we have two kids - Matilda (15) and Henry (11). In April we took a dream trip to Japan... and I've wanted to go back ever since.
The demos I share publicly tend to be 'just for fun' and will often contain a Dad Joke. But the lessons I've learned from tinkering with the software over the years have helped me become a better, faster and more efficient designer. As I'm fond of saying, "Every day's a school day."
When I'm not here, you can find me on LinkedIn.- DavidTeamCommunity Member
Congrats again on your role with New Leaf.
Funny you shared that picture from the Manchester roadshow because it recently popped up in one of my Photos travel memories. That tour was our last roadshow before the world slowed down.
And to be clear, I didn’t give you your break. You were already an elearning star. We were just lucky enough that you chose the E-Learning Heroes label to record all your amazing work.

Oh come on! I'm signed in on my demo account. Grrr

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm Amanda, a Learning Experience Designer for a credit union in Iowa. I love creating engaging, interactive learning experiences and am always looking for new ways to make learning more meaningful (and a little more fun!).
I work with tools like Storyline, Rise, Vyond, AI, and other technologies to build learning solutions that connect with learners and drive results. I'm excited to learn from this community, share ideas, and see all the creative work everyone is building.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me reading, crocheting, tackling DIY home projects, or chasing after my energetic five-year-old son. 😊 Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hi all! My name is Inge and I'm from the Netherlands. I work as an Articulate Certified Trainer (Yes! lucky me) and besides that I help Articulate users with their questions. I love experimenting with new features and I've been using AI since 2022. You might find me doing webinars and talks on the subject as much as I can. I always recommend the heroes pages to my students, because I find it incredible how kind and ready-to-share this community is. Next month I'll be in London for Articuland, any of you going to be there?
About a year ago, I started testing code in embed blocks... and look where we are now! Totally unbelievable how fast everything is changing and there are so many new features to work with in Articulate. I really love it.
For you to enjoy: a small sample of some of my favorite codeblocks:
Hi Inge, enjoyed your Code Block examples. I will be at Articuland London, too. I'm delivering a Breakout session on Day 1. Come say hi!
- ISaCommunity Member
Oh that's really nice. I can't make day 1.. unfortunately.. Only day 2.

Hello! I'm Trina, a learning and development leader in Ontario, Canada, with a passion for helping people and organizations grow.

I enjoy connecting with professionals who are committed to continuous learning, innovation, and building strong workplace cultures. Outside of work, you'll often find me experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, spending time with family (including our two black and white boys who are total couch potatoes but hear a bag of chips opening from anywhere in the house ha ha),
and friends, or making memories with my amazing niece, who keeps me smiling and reminds me to appreciate life's little moments.
I look forward to connecting, sharing ideas, and learning from others in this community! 😊

Hi Everyone! My name is Kaylene and I'm an eLearning Developer from Harrisburg, PA. I have a background in Instructional Design and secondary education - somehow landed myself teaching adults instead. But, those pedagogy skills are still applicable to andragogy!
One of my main motivators is pushing my work farther each time I create something and figuring out solutions for my crazy ideas. Most of the courses I make are on HR topics and federal/state laws - not always the most exciting topics but I've been able to do some fun and creative things with those topics to keep my learners engaged. My dog regularly makes appearances in my courses - she can be seen snoozing at a park ranger station, committing fraud, protecting FTI like a superdog, and even being an archeologist.
When I'm not staring at my computer all day, I like to to go for a hikes, take care of my bonsai, do countless artistic projects (painting, crochet, building something, redesigning/adjusting mundane things to name a few), play DnD and irritate my fur children (a dog and an orange cat).

Hi everyone! I am Roberta. I live in the Buffalo, NY area. Working as an Instructional Consultant for Pedagogical Development at the University at Buffalo. Instructional Design was to be my retirement job, but I am not yet retired! Circumstances forced me out of teaching.

Hey everyone! I'm Ronald — instructional designer on an innovation team by day (video and AI work), and a long-time Storyline builder by night. I make copy-paste JavaScript interactions for Storyline — confetti, progress bars, timers, accessibility fixes — all hand-tested in real projects with setup guides written for people who don't code. Deep in the 508/accessibility world right now.
I'm based in East Texas, Kansas City Chiefs and Texas Longhorns fan, and I volunteer on the media team at my church. Happy to be here and looking forward to learning from all of you!

Hello all,
My name is George and I reside on the sunny Gold Coast Australia.
After a 35 year career as an airline captain, I now focus on instructional design, and leverage SL360 heavily.
I am engaged by an Australian private registered training organisation (RTO).
The Aussie VET sector is unique, being controlled by the Federal Govt. ... Who ever thought that was a good idea?
As such it is bound by red tape.
Various industry peak bodies and high level stakeholders submit information the the Jobs and Skill Councils (JSC).
The JSC then design training packages which contain qualifications and unit of competency.
Those packages are approved by the Dept of Employment and Workplace Relation (DEWR).
3rd parties and RTO's may then develop courses according to the rules laid down in the Training Package Organising Framework.
The RTO's can then deliver these, but is regularly audited by the Aust. Skills Quality Authority, to ensure they meet the Standards for RTO 2026.
Why mention this?
Simply - there is not yet any AI tool that can take a unit of competency (as published) and write a robust course and compliant assessment, for it!
The upside ... I have a job, for a while yet!
