We’re a powerhouse of blended learning solutions and extremely adept at crafting highly engaging, graphically rich blended learning experiences, many of which incorporate gamification and mobile learning. Not only have we developed a powerful authoring system that allows us to go well beyond what most vendors or off-the-shelf tools can offer and deliver, but we’ve also mastered the industry-standard tools and use them regularly. We’re focused on project management and keeping large and complex projects moving smoothly. We have a fantastic team and culture and near-zero turnover. We’re that unique kind of company where everyone feels respected, acknowledged, and treated fairly. In 2009, we went virtual, and our team, though geographically distributed, is tightly connected.
