Office of Academic Innovation, University of Michigan

Our Mission & Principles

We are designing the future of learning through research, innovation, experimentation, and iteration.

We believe an informed, peaceful, equitable, and empowered society is dependent on learners everywhere adopting a learning lifestyle, and educational institutions creating and disseminating new knowledge to provide sustainable solutions to:

• advance learning,
• facilitate problem solving,
• foster equity and inclusivity, and
• increase access and affordability.

We strive to make our world-class public research university’s learning experiences accessible at scale. 

We create new models for global, engaged, and lifelong learning experiences for students at the University of Michigan and around the world.

We harness design, technology, and educational research to shape the future of learning.
