Elevating student engagement through block learning
Higher education’s transition to fully online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst for change at institutions that use technology to widen participation and maximise student engagement. The University of Suffolk conducted a pilot of a transformative ‘block and blend’ teaching and learning model to optimise COVID-necessitated distance learning outcomes and pave the way for innovative course formats in the future. The D2L Brightspace platform was integral to course and module design and delivery, enabling an active blended learning approach.
Maintaining learning during the COVID-19 crisis
In the spring of 2020, schools in the UK transitioned to distance learning as the COVID-19 pandemic forced full or partial building closures and confined students to home. For West Bridgford School (WBS), rapidly adjusting to the change meant expanding its existing use of D2L’s Brightspace to deliver virtual classrooms, online assessments and interactive discussion forums. Since 2017 the high-performing school for students aged 11−18 has used Brightspace to extend learning beyond the classroom, delivering personalised and flexible student experiences. This foundation in online learning meant it was well placed to make a rapid and successful adjustment when the crisis hit.
Empowering students with independent learning
How engaging learning experiences have helped a University of Huddersfield professor achieve 100 percent pass rates
Traditional approaches to university teaching can make it difficult for instructors to identify gaps in student understanding, which impacts pass rates and creates barriers to educational attainment. The University of Huddersfield is using the Brightspace platform to shape engaging blended learning experiences and reports that the pass rate for one professor’s courses has been boosted to 100 percent.

Educating a Global Industry
Educating the grain industry is one of Gafta’s key responsibilities—but with its membership spread across over 95 countries, face-to-face training is not accessible for everyone. Gafta worked with D2L to rejuvenate its distance learning program, providing a better user experience and innovative new courses.
Advance HE uses D2L's Brightspace to leverage Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in education
Advance HE recognises the important role that CPD plays in supporting individual development for those working in higher education. CPD is not simply attending a conference or an item to be checked off a to-do list; it is a way in which teaching professionals can transform their practice on a daily basis. Through using a virtual classroom in D2L’s Brightspace platform for reading groups and webinars, and working with those that are new to teaching, Advance HE not only helps to further CPD, but creates a community of learners globally who can interact online.
