1. Build skills that drive results
With skills development beyond just content consumption, supercharge your strategy through on-the-job learning. Help ensure your learners achieve true skills mastery while driving real business outcomes with Brightspace.
Transform knowledge into skills.
Create learning activities that enable employees to practice and demonstrate their skills mastery. Tap into video assignments and game-based learning, use simulations to rehearse key skills with role plays, and gather retrospectives on projects and individual reflections on key learning.
Our goal is to deliver the best learning outcomes for all our participants. Thanks to the D2L platform, we’re able to offer engaging, collaborative experiences that empower healthcare professionals throughout the region to enhance their skills.
We were trying to make this a completely data-driven exercise. D2L’s platform will help us do that. One of the things that it has been able to do is it's given us immediate response. Now that [the gamification experience] is embedded in the D2L platform, [learners] get an immediate notification when they get a point or are awarded a badge.
Inuit culture puts emphasis on prior learning and experience, and that matches well with the competency-based learning approach that we’re taking with D2L. The goal isn’t to get a high test score, it’s to demonstrate that you have developed your knowledge, skills, and abilities.
– Trish Rennie, Former Technical Coordinator, Ilinniapaa Skills Development Centre (iSDC)
Sharpen performance with meaningful feedback.
Help learners master new skills with meaningful feedback delivered at the point of learning. Brightspace makes it easy for peers and organizational subject matter experts to provide personal feedback using video, audio, and in-line annotations and to automatically send feedback to keep people motivated and on track for success.
Use data to improve learning outcomes.
Hone your learning strategy, make better decisions about your organization’s learning and development programs, and drive better business results using the built-in analytics tools within Brightspace. Critical learning metrics help keep your learning programs on track, while alerts allow you to monitor trends and act swiftly on employee performance and engagement.
2. Improved employee talent attraction and retention
You’re driven to help your learners succeed. So are we. Provide an engaging and immersive learning platform for your employees.
Accelerate time to productivity.
Onboard new hires and fast-track a new employee’s skills development by using Brightspace to create personalized learning experiences tailored to individual learners.
Connect, engage, and inspire your people with social learning.
Build a connected and social learning experience. Using the activity feed and discussions tools within Brightspace, learners can comment on learning and share insights and learning reflections with peers and managers. Leverage Social Assessment to give and receive meaningful input through peer reviews and video-based feedback.
Reward learning achievements.
Help motivate learners and fire up their competitive nature with badges, certificates, and awards. Or use the automation features within Brightspace to give learners a helpful nudge should their progress slow or stall.
The D2L platform is such a powerful tool for interactive learning. It’s not just about the course material—as an instructor, you can post new and different items every day and monitor your class’s progress. The ability to manage assignments, discussion boards and quizzes within a single platform makes learning truly interactive.
We use the intelligent agents feature to send notifications out to users automatically. Reminding people to sign up for courses, finish the modules they’re working on and take the quizzes is very time-consuming when you need to do it manually, so automating the process probably saves each instructor three to five hours per week.
Create inclusion through accessibility.
Further your inclusion strategy by ensuring that learning is available to every employee of every ability. Brightspace is built from the ground up to be accessible, leveraging universal design for learning (UDL) principles.
In fact, organizations such as the National Federation of the Blind and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) rely on us for our inclusive culture, empathetic service, and steady support.

The beauty of the D2L platform is that it is always available.
– Connie Ryan, Founder and President, Professional Development Institute
By leveraging the collaboration capabilities of the D2L platform, we were able to create ‘networks’—communal spaces where our committees and special interest groups can share materials and drive discussions. This unique use case really pushed D2L ahead of the competition; no other platform we looked at was flexible enough to deliver both learning management and advanced collaboration capabilities in a single package.
One of the best aspects of the project was the speed of delivery. We started from nothing and within six months we had a full-fledged online and in-person training program with 12 modules in English. Then we translated it into French and Spanish, and the whole thing was done in a year.
– Dan Ungureanu, Policy Implementation and Programs Senior Consultant, ICF
The D2L platform is an incredible tool to enhance learning, we were particularly impressed with the versatility of the solution.

Twenty years of experience. An unwavering mission to transform learning. We’re committed to helping you, your organization, and your employees succeed in a fast-paced, ever-changing marketplace.
Much of our content is very technical, so it can be heavy going for learners. D2L made it much more interactive, more appealing and more professional-looking. It was a super-positive experience working with D2L’s Learning & Creative Services team.
The team at D2L Learning and Creative services was excellent. They took the time to understand our vision and explained how we could overcome complex technical challenges in terms that made sense to us. The ability to communicate a new idea and have the Creative team translate it into reality sets D2L apart from less versatile platforms.
– Krista Walford, Executive Staff Member, The Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO)
The learning and creative services team was instrumental in helping build a series of truly engaging online training courses, providing us with a development space where we could take risks and incorporate nontraditional styles of learning into each module.
– Quintin Fox, Director of Training Development & Capacity Resourcing, Gay Lea Foods
One of the primary advantages of working with D2L is the relationship that we have fostered: it’s absolutely been built on trust. The D2L team’s support in building technology solutions enables us to be creative and retain the essence of Longwood learning in everything we do.
– Sarah Cathcart, Vice President of Education, Longwood Gardens
D2L’s expertise really came into play when deciding how to make the content come to life. They really understand how different types of content lend themselves to different activities. Nine times out of ten, we followed D2L’s recommendations.
D2L has been an excellent partner in helping us deliver engaging, relevant course content in a culturally safe online environment while always viewing skills development from the perspective of Inuit communities and their traditions.
