Improve student engagement and success
With more online degrees than ever before, keeping students engaged and providing meaningful feedback has become a common challenge. Personalize your feedback with video tools and easily create engaging learning experiences to help all students reach their potential, and save time doing so.
Deliver engaging fully online or hybrid learning experiences
Fully online learning can sometimes feel a little too distant or less engaging, but it doesn’t have to. Brightspace is designed to help you provide the highest-quality learning, with robust tools to inspire, engage, and enhance collaboration.
Action your data to make informed decisions
Sometimes students need a little extra help, and it isn’t always easy to identify those who are deemed ‘at-risk’. You need to be confident in the technology you use and have the power to access up-to-date information to direct your decision making and help improve learner engagement, retention, and completion rates.
