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

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

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.
