The Institute of Learning Innovation, formerly the Beyond Distance Research Alliance, was a teaching and research group based at the University of Leicester.

The Institute of Learning Innovation worked on numerous UK-based and European funded education research projects (over 30 as of August 2013) on topics around technology-enhanced education,[1] and offered PhDs as well as an MSc in Learning Innovation by Distance Learning.

Research topics have included educational use of podcasting,[2] e-readers, virtual worlds,[3] open educational resources and open education,[4] and learning design.
