When it comes to teaching and learning: One size does not fit all. Franklin University’s International Institute for Innovative Instruction is built on the fundamental belief that the needs and ambitions of the learner come first.

We also offer various degrees for the aspiring learning-professional, including a graduate certificate in instructional design, a master’s degree in instructional design and learning technology, and doctorates in instructional design leadership (DPS) and organizational leadership (Ed.D.).

Our Mission & Vision

What We Do

Instructional Design

Our team pushes the boundaries of design when creating innovative courses and learning experiences. Our designs are based on course data, learner needs, industry standards, the input of subject matter experts, and outcome-based instructional theory. Our outcomes are task-based, so our learners are certain that the skills they learn will be essential for their careers.

We design collaboratively in teams of instructional designers, faculty, and subject matter experts. Our frequent work with faculty and subject matter experts has led to strong, trusting relationships that create cohesive courses and allow innovation to be put into practice.

Our highly qualified team of instructional designers are always striving to advance the field and practice of design. We use innovative methodologies and technologies to provide the best experiences possible for our learners. Our team has the expertise to ensure that our designs are not only effective, but create memorable and meaningful experiences for our learners.
