Team
When clients hear us talk about our ‘development team’ they often imagine a group of developers. However the majority of our resources are in content generation, research and writing. When clients work on a new project with us, our core discipline is instructional design. Only when we have developed a well-written and well-researched script do we let our graphic designers and developers begin work.
So when you collaborate with Marshall E-Learning on a custom project, you liaise with a single project manager who will bring in different specialists to help complete the project. Our approach is less process driven than the purely production house e-learning companies. We provide a highly consultative approach, which means the people you talked to about a possible solution at the start of your e-learning project are the same people who work with you throughout the project.
Where others may charge more for this, calling it ‘consultancy’, we just call it good customer service.
