Self-testing of courses arrives!

Arist course modules take >90% less time than traditional e-learning modules to create. Sure, it’s nice to get them “out of the door” to start educating and iterating quickly, but that’s no reason not to do some final usability tests.

Queue our new self-testing capabilities!

Within the course editor you (or someone of your choice) can preview the current state of the course via a variety of delivery methods.

Note that course previews will occur with instant delivery cadence (e.g. once a module is completed, the next will automatically be sent).

A quick checklist of elements you may want to look for with your course preview includes:

✅ Points your can easily skim

✅ Avoidance of large blocks of text

✅ Media that’s legible on all screen sizes

✅ Media that’s legible on all screen sizes


Automate microlearning with Zapier + Arist

Zapier allows thousands of teams to connect thousands of apps. It's as simple as designating a "trigger" within one app and linking it up to an "action" that occurs in another.

In this case, the "action" is enrolling a new user into one of your Arist course distributions. 🥳

What are examples of when this would be useful?

- A new customer is entered into your CRM, and you want to enroll them in a course
- A new employee registers for your messaging app, and you want to enroll them in an onboarding course
- A cohort of students missed a learning KPI, and you want to provide them with extra support
- A group of your employees were just issued a new piece of equipment and could use "point of need" training

If you've never tried out Zapier, note that basic workflows often do not need technical implementation. With this said you'll want to reach out to your account representative at Arist to discern requirements for getting your integration up and running!
