Artha Learning Builds Immersive, Award-Winning Training With Articulate 360

The Challenge

Create job-specific training that drives real behavior change

Artha Learning builds custom online training for clients in a diverse set of industries. When the ultimate goal for online training is behavior change, every audience—whether it’s a set of lawyers, nurses, truck drivers, or accountants—needs something entirely unique.

With decades of L&D experience, founder and CEO Garima Gupta has an intimate understanding of what it takes to shift behavior: experience, practice, emotion, and relevance. Creating such expertly tailored online learning experiences that embody this philosophy requires a level of craft that many tools can’t support.

Because of this, Artha needs software that allows their instructional designers space to create highly customized courses, with the flexibility to integrate with the latest cutting-edge tech—all while keeping the user experience at the center.

The Answer

One platform, limitless possibilities

For the last 10 years, Articulate 360 has given Artha Learning the freedom to think outside the box with their course creation to meet each client’s needs. “What Articulate has done for the e-learning industry is it has made it easier to build high quality content,” says Gupta. “Because Articulate is such a market leader, many times clients will ask for it by name.” 

Working from a place of intimate understanding of a client’s specific learners, Artha Learning uses Storyline to build fully-custom courses that are engaging enough to drive the behavioral change businesses want to see. 

One recent project, Outbreak, is a fully gamified simulation built for nurse practitioners learning to triage patients under pressure. Learners enter a scenario that escalates over five in-course “days”—starting with straightforward triage decisions and building toward a full disease outbreak event. The course asks them to rethink their approach in real time, which gives learners the practice decision-making in a low-stakes environment so they build the confidence they need to perform on the actual hospital floor. 

Rise has proven useful in making beautiful, integrated courses even on truncated client timelines. “Rise has really moved the needle where anybody can create a good looking course very quickly and meet the business need right away,” says Gupta. Using Code Blocks, Artha creates highly adaptive experiences that would typically require many different platforms to replicate. Animations, video, custom game-like interfaces all land in a single, streamlined course.  

Articulate’s collaboration features play an important role on the client side, too. When working with organizations building their first online training, Artha uses these features to walk clients through the feedback process, respond to every comment directly in the platform, and create a clear, documented revision trail, which keeps projects moving.

“We do a lot of different things, but we use Articulate to combine them all very cohesively,” says Gupta. What results is a smooth, engaging experience for the learner.

Unlocking Human Potential

Award-winning training that changes behavior on the job

“There’s so much to learn from how in-person behavior can change through a well-designed course,” says Gupta. With Articulate products, Gupta’s team is creating the kind of courses that showcase that impact. 

A shining example is a driver orientation training course Artha built using Articulate. The client was skeptical that online training could replicate hands-on tasks like inspecting a vehicle before a shift. It did, and then some: Completion rates climbed, and learners began taking the training immediately before they needed it, improving both retention and the downstream behavior the client cared about most: accurate completion of vehicle inspection forms. The course replaced a four-hour in-person session, streamlining the company’s training without missing a beat, and won an industry award.

As the online training industry surges forward, Articulate products allow Artha Learning to stay on the cutting edge of technology while holding the integrity of traditional pedagogy. “Technology has to be in service of learning science, not the other way around,” says Gupta.

With Articulate 360, Artha Learning builds immersive, award-winning online training that blends advanced interactivity and custom design into seamless experiences.
