Brightspace Core for Employee Training
The Brightspace LMS for employee training and development includes all the tools and support you need to help drive business success. From engaging learning experiences to data driven targeted support, you can upgrade your workforce whether they’re in the office or working remotely.
Easily create and curate content
The intuitive design of Brightspace makes it easy to build new content or import curated course content. With a responsive layout, our LMS is accessible from any device.
- Create course content right in the system, or easily curate content from third-party authoring tools and off-the-shelf content providers.
- Collect content in a single library, and share and reuse resources—individual files, topics, or entire courses—across the company.
- Access content from any device with a mobile-friendly interface that adapts to any screen size and mobile apps to optimise common tasks.
Drive skills mastery
With Brightspace, you can create a culture of collaboration, communication, and engagement. Take employee training and development beyond just content consumption.
- Promote iterative employee improvement through coaching and soft-skills development with video-based assessments.
- Promote social learning and encourage employees to share and collaborate using online discussion forums and digital portfolio functionality.
- Add an element of gamification to motivate employees by recognising with awards and certificates their training completion and achievements.
- Connect face-to-face with employees with integrated web conferencing, and use whiteboards and slide sharing to make your virtual meetings more engaging.
- Record and embed short video clips in course content to provide examples or facilitate microlearning experiences.
Motivate learners with personalised training
The system gives you flexible options, allowing you to deliver programs that engage each employee’s unique skill set while ensuring organisational needs are met.
- With automated tools, create personalised learning pathways for each learner based on what he or she does—or doesn’t do—in the system.
- Different course delivery methods can be explored to suit your employees’ needs, whether they’re on-site, online, or both.
- Employees can quickly search for and self-enroll in the courses they need to improve their skills and complete required training.
- Give timely and meaningful feedback in the moment with in-line annotations directly in documents as well as with rubrics and video comments.
- Use built-in analytics to track and understand the performance of departments, courses, or individual employees so you can make better decisions about training and development.
Partner for learning innovation and success
From day one, we’re ready to work together to help you make the most of your investment in a corporate training strategy with Brightspace.

– Sarah Hayden, ARG Human Resources Director, American Refining Group
D2L makes our learning process more efficient by taking the pieces of learning that you can online. That allows you to get greater value out the human face-to-face interactions when they do happen.
The D2L online courses really help people develop skills quickly—we have seen a 90 percent pass rate on many of the pretest quizzes in each module.
Brightspace has been configured to meet our unique needs, and is flexible and sophisticated enough to manage even the most complicated training courses with ease. Customer satisfaction is our primary goal, and delivering the best possible learning experience is a critical part of that.
