About the client
A National Professional Association Managing Member Education, Certification, and Development at Scale
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) is a leading professional organization serving the occupational therapy community. AOTA uses Paradiso LMS to deliver professional education, continuing education programs, assessments, and certifications to its members. With approximately 70,000 registered users, more than 50% of them actively engaging with the platform, and 50+ courses spanning professional certifications and continuing education requirements, AOTA needed an LMS that could manage diverse learner profiles, automate enrollment and content assignment, and integrate seamlessly with its external user-management platform, Nimble.
The Challenge
The Challenge of Managing 70,000+ Learners at Scale
Managing Diverse Learner Profiles Within One Environment
The member base spans diverse profiles, membership types, and enrollment requirements, making user management, course assignment, and content routing complex within a single-tenant setup.
External Platform Integration and a High-Stakes Migration
AOTA needed the LMS to integrate with its external user-management platform. When it transitioned from Personify to Nimble, the migration had to preserve learner data, remap usernames, and maintain synchronization without disrupting active learners.
Automating User Segmentation and Enrollment at Scale
Manually managing group assignment, course enrollment, and content routing for a member base of this size and diversity was not sustainable. Full automation was required.
Delivering Different Content to Users Within the Same Course
Different learners entering the same course needed different activities, content, and certification requirements based on their individual profile, creating a complex personalization challenge.
Professional Certifications That Must Be Reliable at Scale
AOTA's certifications carry real professional value for occupational therapists. Completion tracking, assessment grading, certificate generation, and data sync back to Nimble had to be error-free at scale.
The Solution
How Paradiso LMS Automated AOTA’s End-to-End Learning Workflow
Nimble Integration and API-Driven User Management

Automated User Segmentation and Enrollment
The platform uses user data to automate group assignments, course enrollment, and content access, reducing manual administrative work.
Personalized Content Delivery Within the Same Course
Paradiso uses learner profiles to tailor activities, content, and requirements, enabling one course to serve multiple learner types.
Automated Certification and Completion Tracking
Paradiso automates completion tracking and certificate generation while recording grades, assessment results, and key course dates.
