The Challenge
AI Is Everywhere. Education-Ready AI Isn’t.
Generic AI Can Create Privacy and Trust Risks Institutions need AI that protects student data and supports responsible use. Without education-specific safeguards, even helpful tools can introduce concerns around safety, privacy and compliance.
New Tools Can Add More Work When faculty have to learn another platform, switch between systems or rebuild workflows, AI can become one more thing to manage instead of a way to save time.
Disconnected AI Creates Integration Headaches AI works best when it fits into the learning environment. If it sits outside the LMS, institutions may face more complexity across setup, access, support and long-term maintenance.
AI Needs Teaching and Learning Context Generic AI doesn’t always understand course design, assessment, accessibility or student support. Without that context, outputs can feel disconnected from the real work of education.
AI That Fits the Way Education Works
D2L Lumi helps institutions bring AI into course design, content creation and learning support without adding disconnected tools or unnecessary complexity. See how it works inside Brightspace.
Designed for Education From the Ground Up Every D2L Lumi feature is built with pedagogy, course design and learner outcomes at its core.
No Data Used to Train the Model. Ever. Institutions stay in control of their data. D2L’s responsible AI principles govern how AI is developed and deployed, not an afterthought.
Built Directly Into Brightspace D2L Lumi is embedded directly into educators daily workflows.
Built by People Who Understand Learning Science Created by learning experts, not just technologists. Every feature is informed by learning science, accessibility best practices, and feedback from institutions.
Your Data is Yours. No customer data is used to train D2L Lumi. Institutions control when, where, and how AI features are available — with full transparency into how D2L Lumi works. Privacy is a core design principle.
What Educators Are Saying
AI Designed for Real Education Impact
Brightspace sits at the core of our education technology provision. It is the start and end point for staff and students.
Trish Mountjoy head of educational technology services, University College Dublin
We want our academics to focus on pedagogy and learning and teaching. Manual admin isn’t a good use of their time.
Sanjay Gupta product manager, digital technologies, NTU
Brightspace’s advanced tools, customisation capabilities and collaborative features perfectly align with our vision of fostering an enriched learning experience for our students and faculty.
Dr Mario Landman head of education technology and innovation, The IIE
Recognised by Educators, Validated by the Market
D2L Lumi has been recognised across every level of education — not just for having AI, but for doing it right.
We wanted to really push the boundaries of what we could do and create great learning experiences, all of which was possible because of the power of D2L Brightspace. Education should be a journey for every single person, and I think Brightspace is fantastically positioned to be able to make that happen.Chris Tracehead of digital learningUniversity of Surrey
