Let’s Talk
If you’re ready to simplify your LMS, reduce compliance risk and take control of your historical content, reach out to your D2L representative to learn more about Brightspace Archiving.
Are you looking to declutter your D2L Brightspace instance, back up student data or more easily comply with the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) new accessibility rule? If so, you’re not alone. Institutions across the country are facing increased pressure to manage growing volumes of learning management system (LMS) content, while also meeting stricter federal accessibility requirements and keeping storage costs under control.
That’s why D2L and K16 Solutions have partnered to deliver Brightspace Archiving—a powerful, purpose-built solution that helps you streamline your Brightspace environment, support WCAG compliance and preserve historical content in a secure, searchable archive.
A Cleaner LMS, Without Losing Access
As courses accumulate over semesters, Brightspace LMS instances can become unnecessarily cluttered and difficult to navigate. Brightspace Archiving helps you solve this by moving outdated or inactive courses into a dedicated and integrated archive, while keeping that content accessible for reporting, auditing or historical reference.
With Brightspace Archiving, you can:
Reduce Storage and Save Money
- Move older course content off your active LMS to reduce storage usage—without deleting anything.
Protect Sensitive Student Data
- Reduce exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) and support stronger data governance practices.
Meet Accessibility Requirements
- Archive non-compliant content and focus your accessibility efforts on current, student-facing materials—helping your institution align with new DOJ and WCAG standards.
Access Historical Content Anytime
- All archived content is searchable and accessible through K16’s secure platform, so you never lose track of important data. Data can easily be synced back to Brightspace at the push of a button.
Archiving by K16 Solutions was much faster than cold storage. It’s easier to retrieve what you need, whether it’s content or student data; it’s great to have backups of backups. We’ve had a really good experience with having K16’s Archiving as our archiving system–it’s so helpful.
