Case Study: Habitat Magazine achieves a professional, robust eLearning platform for HabitatU with Thought Industries

Moving From Free Online Technology to a More Robust Learning Environment

Habitat Magazine, publisher of HabitatU, needed to move from a free, text‑heavy online tool to a professional eLearning environment that matched its print brand and required no programming expertise. After experimenting with free platforms and producing an initial set of 15 plain text courses, Habitat Magazine selected Thought Industries and its Learning Business Platform™ because it offered a polished, professional look and was designed for non‑developers.

Thought Industries migrated Habitat Magazine’s courses onto the Learning Business Platform™, enabling the publisher to present engaging, professionally formatted courses (e.g., Budgeting Basics for Co‑ops and Condos; Board Business Through a Legal Lens) without hiring programmers. The result for Habitat Magazine was a higher‑quality learning experience aligned with their brand and an accessible library of courses available free to subscribers, improving course presentation and ease of content management.
