Approach

We specialize in the art and science of learning.

However, more than that, we are focused on improving human performance through enhanced, smarter training methods and tools. Quite simply, we make great educational products that help people train better.

Pedagogy over Technology

We are fluent in a wide range of new technologies and elearning standards (parlez-vous SCORM?), but prioritize good instructional design and evidence-based methods over technology for its own sake. We employ high production standards and great graphic design that is informed by the latest principles of multimedia learning.

And we study what we produce. Our team are also leading academic researchers in the science of web-based learning. Here are just a few examples of some of our publications in leading scientific journals.
