Designing products and services that advance knowledge and learning and deliver real impact
At Oxford University Press, we are passionate about helping everyone achieve their full potential. By combining research-informed learning design and pedagogy with our extensive global experience and expertise, we develop educational solutions that advance knowledge and learning and deliver real impact.
The science of learning
Now more than ever, the science of learning design has become key to helping learners acquire, retain, and apply their newfound knowledge and skills in the most effective way possible.
At Oxford University Press, we have identified the most impactful learning design principles for delivering our quality content in an optimum way, helping teachers and learners to succeed and achieve their full potential.
Putting learners at the core
These principles are based on educational research and grounded in professional best practice, enabling us to set out activities in a way that puts learners at the core and ensures that knowledge is not just gained but retained. This can lead to an improved learning experience for all, which increases motivation and engagement and helps learners develop a love for learning.
“By applying the most relevant learning design pedagogies and strategies, combined with our extensive experience in producing high-quality content, we are transforming the way in which we design and develop solutions to ensure that they deliver their intended educational outcomes with maximum impact.”

The importance of knowledge organization
Our expertly developed educational frameworks and taxonomies are the cornerstones of effective learning and knowledge organization. They underpin our world-leading content to provide a structured path to learner progression by organizing knowledge and skills into well-defined categories and hierarchies that align with teaching and learning objectives.
Setting learners on the best path for success
These educational frameworks and taxonomies can help to simplify complex subjects through an effective sequence of learning that can address misconceptions. They can also enable personalized reporting and be used to create adaptive learning experiences so that learners can progress at their own pace and level, setting them on the best path to progression and success.
