Alison wants to know what to call herself.

If you really like the training end of things and want to continue in that end
of the tech comm continuum, you're a Multimedia Instructional Designer. If you
want to beef up your process and theory skills, run out and get Bill Horton's
latest book, "Designing Web-Based Training."

Other possible titles:

Technical Communicator (good generic designation covering tech writing,
instructional design, online doc and help development)
Technical Writer (if you want to concentrate on the doc angle rather than the
training angle)
Information Designer
Information Developer
Information Architect (although some folks define that more as a programmer or
user interface developer)

I'd avoid training specialist, unless you want to deliver training as well as
design it.

Email me privately for a longer conversation!

Cheers,
Mary Wise
