Landmark College
Designing accessible, learner-centered online courses that empower students who learn differently.
The Challenge
Landmark College serves students who learn differently, including learners with auditory, visual, mobility, and learning disabilities. As the college expanded its LC Online programs, it needed online courses that were not only academically rigorous, but intentionally designed for accessibility, flexibility, and learner autonomy. The challenge was to translate in-person instruction into inclusive, effective online experiences without compromising academic standards.
The Partnership
Six Red Marbles partnered with Landmark College over a multi-year engagement to design and build a wide range of blended and fully online courses for LC Online. Working closely with faculty, SRM’s instructional design team collaborated course by course to ensure learning experiences reflected Landmark’s mission and supported students with diverse learning needs.
The Strategy
SRM applied a learning experience design approach that blended:
This strategy ensured that financial literacy concepts were not only taught, but experienced and reinforced.
What SRM Designed & Developed
Working in close collaboration with FitMoney, SRM designed and developed the full $uperSquad experience, including:
SRM led learning design, creative development, and production from concept through launch.
The Learning Experience
Courses were designed to give students multiple ways to engage, understand, and demonstrate learning. Lessons incorporate videos with transcripts, flashcards, slideshows, and step-by-step walkthroughs. Learning objectives are presented in multiple formats like written questions, actionable outcomes, and video so students can access information in the way that works best for them.
Students participate in biweekly small-group synchronous sessions and complete scaffolded, semester-long projects that can be submitted in a medium of their choosing, supporting autonomy and self-expression.
The Impact
The resulting courses created a highly inclusive, flexible online learning environment that supports Landmark’s diverse student population. Faculty gained confidence in online delivery, and students benefited from predictable structure, accessible content, and multiple pathways to success.
Across the engagement, SRM supported the development of six completed courses with ongoing work on additional courses, delivering consistent quality across review cycles and exceeding expectations for collaboration and responsiveness.
Why It Matters
Accessible design is a catalyst for better learning. By embedding UDL and WCAG principles into every aspect of course design, Six Red Marbles helped Landmark College extend its mission online, ensuring students who learn differently are fully supported in digital learning environments.
The Six Red Marbles team consistently delivered high-quality work and demonstrated exceptional collaboration throughout the project. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to navigate uncertainty made us feel like true partners every step of the way.
