Boston College
Moving on-campus MBA courses online while preserving academic rigor and faculty vision.
The Challenge
Boston College sought to expand access to its MBA programs by moving select face-to-face courses online. The challenge was to increase flexibility and potential enrollment without compromising academic rigor, instructional quality, or the distinctive character of each course. Faculty needed a trusted partner who could translate existing materials into effective online learning experiences.
The Partnership
Six Red Marbles partnered closely with Boston College faculty to design, develop, and build courses within the university’s Canvas LMS. Working directly with professors, SRM ensured that each course reflected the instructor’s vision while aligning with institutional standards and online program requirements.

What SRM Designed & Developed

SRM led learning design, creative development, and production from concept through launch.
The Learning Experience
The resulting courses provide a flexible, graduate-level learning experience that balances structure with instructor presence. Students engage with course content through multimedia lessons, case-based discussions, and applied assessments while faculty retain control over pacing, emphasis, and instructional style.
The Impact
The online courses expanded access to Boston College’s MBA offerings while preserving the academic standards and instructional intent of the original face-to-face courses. Faculty gained confidence in online delivery, and students benefited from increased flexibility without sacrificing course quality.

The difference between good and great course designers is the ability to serve as the eyes of the students. Six Red Marbles brought a flexible, faculty-centered approach that avoided cookie-cutter solutions and made everything click.
