Inspired by research from Stanford and UPenn, text message courses are efficient, accessible, and cost-effective.

90%

Save time (up to 90%) and money by making courses in hours instead of weeks. Text message courses make authoring, publishing, and editing super simple, all through our easy-to-use platform.
97%

97% of employees open a text in minutes, versus 7% or less for email and video. With SMS, Messenger, and WhatsApp integration, text message courses are the world's most accessible digital learning format.
Stories

Instant business impact

From reinforcement training to harassment prevention and mindfulness, text message courses are already changing the workplace.
"The text message course made me more mindful at work, in just a text a day."
In partnership with KGA, a leading HR firm, Arist created a mindfulness text message course delivering mindful insights and meditative practices to employees each morning. After a 30 day course, employees reported feeling calmer, happier, and more present both at work and at home.
“This took a fraction of the time - and my team loved it.”
In partnership with Aquent’s Gymnasium, Arist created an introduction on front end development for up and coming web designers. The course received a 9.5 / 10 satisfaction score, and went from storyboarding to delivery in less than a week.
"I now have the skills I need to grow my business."
Jiwo Paro, a Nairobi, Kenya-based nonprofit, used Arist to deliver financial literacy training to dozens of seamstresses throughout the country. Text message learning helped Sarah, a partially deaf seamstress, get the training she needs to succeed.
The secret sauce

How does a course work?

It all starts with 1,200 characters. Send daily explanations, concepts, and case studies, all neatly packaged into 1,200 characters (about two phone screens) or less. Days can include in-text links, files, images, and assessments.

  • Robust assessment

    Seamlessly create and track in-text exercises and assessments. >90% open and completion rates ensure high engagement and retention. It's a simple, fun, flexible, and easy way to learn.

  • Complete flexibility

    Courses can be any length, with a 30 day course roughly equal to 10 hours of learning or training. Better yet, Arist works with SMS, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger, and users can pick the time of their daily text.

Powerful use cases

Text messages are a powerful learning medium, with so many applications it can be intimidating. Here's a few of our client's favorite uses:
For Compliance
For Sales Training
For Reinforcement
For Onboarding

Compliance with results.

Despite the importance of compliance training, students and employees often have a hard time finishing and retaining compliance content, creating unsafe environments.

Using Arist, cover everything from harassment prevention to federal regulations, all on an intimate medium in digestible, bite-sized chunks.

  • Easy to remember content
  • Enjoyable format
  • High completion rates
  • Accessible from anywhere

Customers change. Training should too.

Learning that actually sticks.

We spend all of our time creating great content and learning workshops, seminars, and experiences. Unfortunately, employees will forget 50% of what they learn within the first hour.

Using spaced learning and micro-learning models, Arist is perfect for pre-work and post-work, helping employees remember the most effective content everytime.

  • Follow up with employees
  • Update in minutes
  • Survey instantly
