Hi, I'm Ekaterina

Hi everyone!

My name is Ekaterina, and I'm currently based in Vancouver, Canada.

I work as a courseware developer in the aviation industry ✈️ (I help create e-learning courses for pilots), which is how I first discovered Articulate Storyline and started using it about three years ago.

Since then, I’ve learned a lot through my work projects, but I’ve also become curious to explore more advanced features and creative possibilities. That’s why I joined this community—to keep learning and share what I’ve discovered along the way.

My background is in Fine Arts (I hold a BFA in Print Media), and I occasionally teach art classes for kids. I try to bring a strong design element into the courses I create, thinking of them as holistic projects where visuals, UI, and content come together seamlessly. I'm especially interested in gamification, and I've created a few small games in Articulate using different visual styles.

On the personal side, my family includes my husband, our three little kids, and two cats: 👨👩👧👦👧🐈🐈

  • Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Ekaterina_V​ ​! Creating e-learning for pilots sounds fascinating. I do a lot of e-learning for the travel industry. What types of pilot training courses to you build?

    Your background in visual design gives you a big advantage in e-learning. Articulate posted a weekly e-learning challenge around airline safety cards you might be interested in. That's an older challenge but seems like something you might have some creative ideas around.

    E-learning heroes has an active examples section where you can post and share your own work. It's a good way to connect with other community members while showing what your work.

      Hi Montsea​ , pleasure to meet you too!

      I had a look at your e-learning portfolio—it's amazing!

      I work in a large corporation, so I’ve been involved in both CBT and ILT projects, including Initial and Recurrent training, as part of our courseware development team. The courses we build follow a strict, approved template and set standards, so there’s not much room for creativity there.

      Thanks for the link to the Airline Safety Cards Challenge! But I think I’ll take a little break from aviation for now 😄—I get plenty of that at work!

      I’ve already shared all my examples in the community and received some lovely feedback. I’ll definitely keep posting whenever I have something new to show!

  • I'm glad you introduced yourself Ekaterina_V​! I've seen you post some really awesome examples already, but it's fun to learn more about you and the work you do in your day-to-day (which also sounds very cool, btw).
