Educational innovation is a field within education studies that focuses on developing and evaluating new approaches to teaching, learning, curriculum design, and the use of technology in educational settings.

Coursework often includes the study of digital learning tools, blended and online learning models, and strategies for leading innovation within educational institutions.
