Paper Abstract:	This paper proposes and describes a new instructional design framework, primarily inspired through a pedagogical benchmark, designated as IPTEACES (Involvement, Preparation, Transmission, Exemplification, Application, Connection, Evaluation and Simulation), conceived to facilitate elearning by reducing diversity in eLearning programmes facing a non-homogeneous audience. More specifically, this paper describes the outcome of a case study on the application of IPTEACES framework to the insurance intermediaries’ certification course in Portugal (n=3726) from sixteen different corporations connected with the insurance and banking industry. This paper presents an overview of the IPTEACES framework, a brief description of the universe of students who attended the courses as well as the learning results. The results achieved by this certification course will be subject to a detail analysis of the success indicators (score) through the use of a regression tree via exhaustive CHAID (Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector) in order to better comprehend the impact that this framework had among the socio demographic different characteristics. The results have guided the creation of a pragmatic and straightforward instructional design framework, based on pedagogical benchmarks as well as on eLearning best practices. These can be applied in many eLearning projects that face significant diversity in their attendees. Having a diverse range of attendees, this framework has produced results that are considered to fulfill the typical main objectives of an eLearning project: high approval rate, low dropout rate and high level of satisfaction from the students.
