What We Do

We create exceptional learning experiences through an integrated suite of services that support the full life cycle of educational content from early concept and design through production and delivery.

Our Approach

At Six Red Marbles, we believe great learning is designed with intention.

Our approach brings together instructional rigor, learner-centered design, creative storytelling, and technical expertise so ideas move efficiently from concept to high-quality learning experiences that meet standards, scale effectively, and resonate with learners.

Learner-Centered by Design

We begin with the learner—how they engage, what motivates them, and what success looks like—so every decision supports meaningful, effective learning experiences.

Built for Standards and Outcomes

Our work is grounded in instructional rigor, standards alignment, and measurable outcomes, ensuring programs meet academic, accreditation, and organizational requirements.

Creative Meets Operational Excellence

We blend thoughtful design and creative storytelling with proven production processes, delivering high-quality learning at scale, on time, and on budget.

Partnership, End-to-End

We collaborate closely with our clients from concept through delivery, acting as an extension of their teams to solve problems, reduce risk, and move work forward with confidence.

Content Development

We develop content that puts learners first across ages, modalities, and subject areas.

In partnership with our clients, we design and develop instructional content, assessments, and supporting materials that align to educational standards and program goals. Our teams draw on a global network of subject matter experts to ensure accuracy, relevance, and instructional integrity.

From core curriculum and supplemental materials to higher ed and professional learning content, we create experiences that are engaging, accessible, and built to last.

Course Design

Our course design work is grounded in a learning experience design (LXD) approach combining instructional design, pedagogy, cognitive science, and user experience principles.

We design learning journeys that are intentional, evidence-based, and responsive to how learners actually engage with content. From early discovery and prototyping through refinement and production oversight, we focus on clarity, flow, and meaningful interaction.

The result: courses and programs that are easier to navigate, more engaging to complete, and better aligned to learning outcomes.
