Services
E-Learning Development
Gnaritas designs and implements interactive e-learning programs from complex simulations to short, highly focused courses. Content is structured and created with the input of subject-matter experts to ensure relevancy and connection with the learners’ own work, and it is developed to ensure the cost-effectiveness of production, implementation, and any future updating.
Key attributes of our e-learning programs:
- Learners are actively engaged in the learning process (i.e., learning by doing).
- Activities are directly connected with learners’ intrinsic motivations.
- Content is structured and presented to support a variety of learning styles.
- Results translate into demonstrable improvements in practice.

In a partnership that has spanned almost a decade, Gnaritas has proven to be far more than a skillful software development firm. At the beginning of our engagement, they quickly demonstrated a deep understanding of our student support practice and the needs of the all software users, from coordinators in schools to researchers at the Center for Optimized Student Support. It wasn't long before they were proposing ideas and approaches we hadn't thought of. They have also been highly responsive to our needs and questions. City Connects supports 30,000 students each year in high-poverty schools, with proven benefits for students' academic achievement and thriving. The software Gnaritas developed has been central to supporting these students Mary Walsh, Executive Director of City Connects and the Daniel Kearns Professor of Urban Education and Innovative Leadership, Lynch School of Education at Boston College
Our education team at Mass Eye and Ear worked with Chris Wisdo and Gnaritas on two computer based programs, the Mass Eye and Ear Cataract Master and the Mass Eye and Ear ROP Trainer. Chris’ guidance and experience in education and cognition were essential to the success of both projects. We were able to demonstrate the superiority of the programs he helped us to develop in randomized trials with comparison to standard teaching tools. The Gnaritas staff was terrific in helping us develop the programs, keeping track of hundreds of program elements, keeping us organized, and doing the coding.Chris and his team were always readily available to help. If you are looking to develop an interactive educational tool you can’t find a better group.John I. Loewenstein, M.D. Associate Clinical Chief; Associate Chief for Graduate Medical Education
