Distinctly D2L

We understand learning. More importantly, we know modern learning. That’s because we’ve made it our mission to transform the way the world learns.  

We unify a diverse and fragmented learning market through a powerful tech ecosystem supported by more than 20 years of expertise and a vision for the future of work and learning. We’re focused on creating unique learner-centric platforms backed by learning science that increase adoption, retention, engagement and deliver on learning outcomes. 

Our Platforms are Built to Personalise Learning at Scale

Over the past two decades, we’ve been laser-focused on keeping pace with the evolving needs of education and the economy. That’s why we utilise the same underlying (and award-winning) technology to serve all our customers, allowing advancements to be utilised by learners at every level of their journey and addressing their individual educational needs.

At D2L, accessibility happens by design. It’s a purposeful, inclusive design practice throughout everything we do here and it stems from our shared passion to transform the way the world learns.

Collaborate on product development

Our solution has been developed by us in consultation with our users and through design studies, rather than being a byproduct of acquired technologies. That has allowed us to focus new development efforts on what we believe are our clients’ most critical needs for today and tomorrow.

Hear What Our Customers Have to Say

“The D2L Brightspace platform has allowed us to make a e-learning personalised and accessible for all our learners and partners. We’ve been able to share resources and experiences which has had a positive impact across the sporting system, as well as saving time and costs. A particular benefit has been the ability to give partners their own identity through logos and templates in their own site, while still being part of the one learning site for sport in Scotland.” Sportscotland
