We’re leading the way into the era of personalised learning, driven by the belief that everyone deserves access to high-quality education, regardless of their age, ability, or location. Our powerful technology works at every stage of learning, from the earliest days of school through every stage of work.

We collaborate with leaders, policymakers, and industry innovators worldwide to advance learning. Our team partners with each customer to meet their learners’ needs, improve outcomes and provide support at every step of their journey.

In just over 20 years, our team has grown to include more than 1,100 employees around the world. You can find us at our headquarters in Kitchener, Ontario and in satellite offices around the world. Our technology is currently being used by customers in K-12, higher education, associations and the corporate sector.

Our story and mission

As a third-year engineering student, our founder, John Baker, challenged himself to find the most important problem he could solve that would have the biggest impact on the world.

Inspired by his own family of educators and experiences, John was struck by an idea as he walked across campus: learning is the foundation for progress. He realised that the impact of work in this area would have a ripple effect from one person to the next through generations, communities, companies, and cultures. With that clear vision, John founded D2L with a goal to help millions and potentially billions of learners. More than 20 years later, John’s vision is thriving within a global company that believes everyone should have access to the best possible learning opportunities.

Today, D2L is on a mission to transform the way the world learns.

Digital tools create entirely new possibilities for teachers to inspire learners.

The future of work and learning are interconnected

In the digital age, reskilling and upskilling will be a lifelong opportunity for people to expand their potential.
