D2L’s Culture
D2L is constantly evolving, but our mission remains the same – to transform the way the world learns. Employees are inspired by this mission, and genuinely enjoy coming to work every day. You see the impact of your work and make a difference; D2Lers are proud of the work they do!
We operate with six Leadership Competencies at our core. These competencies describe the leadership behaviours we look for in our employees. At D2L, employees are empowered to exercise their leadership skills by living and embracing these leadership competencies no matter what their role is or what level of the organization they currently sit. All D2Lers are encouraged to grow and build upon these six competencies to further develop their leadership skills.

It is in being able to empower the learners of this and next-generation that brings me the most joy. Working alongside a dedicated and supportive team that pushes you to cultivate your best self so that we can together build something much bigger than us - just another day of the little wonders of learning, laughing and growing at D2L.
– Jahnavi Yadav, Business Development Representative, D2L
One of the things I love best about working at D2L is our commitment to Philanthropy. D2Lers are given personal days to use for volunteering, which means we can support the causes that mean the most to us. I'm really passionate about learning about education systems around the world and was lucky enough to go with D2L Philanthropy to Haiti one summer to volunteer at the Educator and Leadership Institute in Cap-Haitian. Working with Haitian educators to facilitate technology workshops, and learning in return from them about their teaching practices, was an amazing experience. I'm so grateful to work for a company that lets me continue to learn and grow!
– Kassia Kukurudza, Senior Academic Affairs Manager, D2L
It's the culture and being able to contribute to it. I enjoy the people I interact with daily and always learn something from them. It’s great to see the passion that folks have as I’m going about my day. I also love the understanding of work/life balance that leadership seems to foster.
– Wayne Benjamin, Facilities Manager, D2L
Our Story
From the first concept to where we are today, D2L has evolved over the years into a platform that is making a difference in the way the world learns.
John Baker, a student at the University of Waterloo, created a learning platform in 1999 with a purpose of using technology to dramatically transform learning. Check out the following video from John to learn more about how “we built this”!
