4 Reasons Six Red Marbles is the Right OPM Alternative

May 3, 2023

As a thought leader in the education industry, Six Red Marbles (SRM) has been helping institutions expand their program offerings for more than 25 years.  

But what sets us apart from an online program management (OPM) model?  

The answer is simple: We’re not an OPM. We believe in your academic freedom and content ownership, and in providing our partners with peace of mind, free from the regulations and concerns surrounding OPMs. So why is SRM the better choice for your institution’s online learning needs? Let’s take a closer look. 

1. Academic Freedom and Content Ownership  

Working with Six Red Marbles allows institutions to maintain academic freedom and retain ownership of their content. SRM takes a collaborative approach to content development, working with institutions to create and customize courses that meet their unique needs. This ensures that institutions have full control over their content and can make updates and changes as needed.  

2. No Revenue Sharing  

Unlike traditional OPM companies, Six Red Marbles does not take a revenue share in return for content development. We are a fee-for-services provider.  This means that institutions can invest in their online education programs without having to share their revenue with a third-party provider. 

3. Safe from Regulations  

OPMs are currently facing increased regulatory scrutiny from the US Department of Education, which has delayed the start date of new regulations for OPMs. SRM is not subject to these regulations. This provides institutions with peace of mind knowing that their online programs are not at risk of being impacted by changing legislation. 

4. Customization and Flexibility
