Let's build the future of education, together.
We are Vanderbilt’s hub for academic innovation—partnering with deans, faculty and academic units to launch new programs, reimagine existing offerings and support the learning platforms that power teaching across every modality.
An incubator, a studio and a partner in practice.
The Office of Learning Innovation (OLI) is Vanderbilt's central office for advancing bold and distinctive educational solutions. We incubate new programs that meet learners wherever they are, and we partner with academic units to redesign existing programs for new audiences, formats and outcomes.
We also support the faculty and learning platforms that power courses across every modality: in-person, hybrid and online. Our cross-functional team blends instructional design, project management, digital media, learning technology, marketing and strategic advisory under one roof.
Our Mission
Advancing new, uniquely Vanderbilt educational solutions to meet the needs of an expanding and evolving community of learners.
From Nashville to 1.1 million learners worldwide.
We've expanded VU online degree programs to learners in 32 countries and partnered with academic units to develop best-in-class digital and lifelong learning portfolios.
