Franklin University, a leading educator of working adults, is pleased to announce the addition of its Doctor of Education in Instructional Design Leadership (Ed.D.-IDL) degree program with two focus areas. Today’s announcement continues to add to the University’s reputation as Ohio’s #1 nonprofit university for online degrees by offering relevant degrees and focus areas aligned with a student’s specific career interest.

Uniquely designed for the busy professional, Franklin’s online Doctor of Education in Instructional Design Leadership program prepares learners to design and develop transformative materials with a tailored education in the following disciplines:

Ed.D.-IDL: Curriculum & Instruction: Developing the expertise needed for an instructional design career that includes developing student-centric learning experiences, creating professional development opportunities for faculty, and influencing education policy making.

Ed.D.-IDL: Education Technology: Preparing learners to lead the way in designing and developing training materials and resources for a career outside the traditional classroom – including launching one’s own ed-tech organization or consultancy.

Students in Franklin’s online Doctorate of Education in Instructional Design Leadership are equipped to design effective, transformative learning and instruction – especially as technology and training needs and methodologies continue to evolve.

Through the University’s Ed.D.-IDL major course areas, students immerse themselves in comprehensive, hands-on experience with a diverse array of cutting-edge research methodologies and innovative design approaches. This rigorous and dynamic training prepares students to evolve into holistic, independent scholar-practitioners. Additionally, the program equips students with a suite of highly sought-after skills, including advanced communication, instructional design, and effective training techniques. These competencies enable graduates to become forward-thinking leaders in their specialties, ready to drive innovation and excellence in their professional careers.

Built for working adults, Franklin University’s Ed.D.-IDL classes are 100% online, and can be completed in as few as three years, with two years of coursework and one year of the dissertation, and are designed by and for instructional design leaders to align with students’ career interests and aspirations. With a seamless admissions process and flexible course schedule, Franklin helps students balance education, with work, family, and life.
