EDUtech Asia is one of the largest edtech events in the region, and D2L was thrilled to be a part of it. With many institutions facing challenges, like successfully incorporating microcredentials into programming, aligning with national education mandates or understanding how to best use Artificial Intelligence (AI), our team loves the chance to connect with like-minded learners to share our joint passion for education and explore these solutions together. (And yes, we loved handing out our iconic Canadian moose souvenirs!)
With AI-enabled learning top-of-mind for many institutions, we were happy to be a part of meaningful conversations at our booth. As the needs of higher education change, we were excited to share and show how we’re evolving to meet them.
Our high commitment to customer success drives our mission, something we wanted to share at the event. Our partnership with Orenda Learning, detailed below, exhibits our passion for working with our customers to achieve goals.
Using AI purposefully to improve education
When using AI in the classroom, our focus is on ensuring it’s purposeful, reliable, and focused on the educator. That’s why a highlight of our participation in EDUtech Asia was sharing one of our latest innovations: D2L Lumi.
This feature uses AI to help institutions simplify insights, feedback, and student support. During the event, Moses Lim, manager, solutions engineering at D2L, walked participants through a live demo of some of D2L Lumi’s key features, including:
- Lumi Insights: Providing actionable analytics
- Lumi Study Support: Helping learners stay on track
- Lumi Chat: Fast, AI-powered assistance for faculty and students
- Lumi Tutor: Personalized guidance for every learner
- Lumi Feedback: Smarter, faster grading and feedback
As institutions strive to keep up with their learners and competitors in the digital age, D2L is proud to align with our leadership in AI-driven learning innovation.
Building learning experiences that matter with Brightspace
Our product exists to support our customers’ critical, high-level missions. We thrive when partnering with others who can achieve their goals with Brightspace.
A powerful example of this was our Customer Spotlight featuring Orenda Learning, an educational consultancy firm that provides young people with knowledge and skills to make positive global change in the world. We were honored that Orenda Learning’s CEO, Alice Whitehead, shared how Brightspace allows them to deliver their crucial “Technology Partnership for a Sustainable Future Framework.”
By partnering with D2L, Orenda Learning gained an innovative, easy-to-use, and visually appealing platform that caters to a broad demographic. This seamless experience promotes engagement and provides a cohesive curriculum that aligns with their global mission.
This partnership is a testament to D2L’s commitment to understanding and aligning with the specific needs of our customers, ensuring the platform actively drives their mission forward.
Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond
After attending EDUtech Asia, our excitement around driving AI innovation and commitment to customer success is stronger than ever.
Meeting new people, making new connections, and hearing new insights is what helps to keep our learning fresh and gain valuable insights into what really matters in the world of education.
If you feel a little left out over missing our D2L Lumi demo, we’d still be happy to talk more about our new feature. Request a personalized follow-up session to connect with one of our team members and see how D2L Lumi can work with your institution.
