APU Global wins 2021 Omni Award for Instructional Media Design

APU Global has been named a winner of a Gold Omni Award for excellence in instructional media design. The Omni Awards exist to recognize outstanding achievements in film/video, web and mobile media. This is APU Global’s first Gold medal in the Omni awards, and third overall medal in the Educational category.

“Our mission as an institution includes promoting student success by designing courses that are as engaging as they are instructional,” said George Hanshaw, Director of eLearning Operations. “These awards are a positive affirmation of the quality and creative energy that our eLearning team puts into their work. We’re very proud of the learning experiences they create.”

Studies have shown that the success and persistence of online students are improved when course content is creative and engaging. “Online education is far more than just teaching remotely,” says Dr. John Reynolds, President of APU Global. “It’s more than Zoom meetings and PDF’s. It involves producing and delivering rich, immersive content that captures and holds the learner’s attention, as well as educates. When combined with the passion and expertise of the faculty, the result is a very positive student experience.”

Back-to-back recognition

Winning again in a national media competition points to a repeatable process rather than a single standout project. APU Global's instructional media team works inside course development, not adjacent to it, which is why quality carries across the catalog.

How courses get built

• Faculty subject-matter experts define outcomes and assessments first
• Instructional designers map the eight-week sequence and workload
• Media production supports the hardest concepts, not every page
• Accessibility and mobile review before any course launches

Why this matters to students

Online students rarely have time to fight an interface or decode a poorly structured module. Deliberate design converts directly into hours saved and terms completed, which is the point.

See the student experience, review areas of study, or talk with an advisor about a program that fits your schedule.
