Testimonials

SRM has been a trusted and supportive partner for more than five years and has completed a series of meaningful and widely used projects. For just three of the projects they have done with us in the past few years, we have seen over a thousand institutional adoptions supporting hundreds of thousands of students, with extensive reuse in a variety of contexts. Beyond their process and technical capability, the experience and knowledge of their team is exceptional.
OpenStaxAnthony Palmiotto, Editorial Director
We needed a vendor partner with a flexible approach to developing courses and working with faculty, one that wouldn’t lock us into using a particular tool or platform in the future. Some companies had a cookie-cutter approach to course development. Others were flexible with course development but not with the delivery platform. When we met with Six Red Marbles, everything clicked.
