What makes D2L different?
We’ve helped to pioneer the technology and practices needed to deliver the most effective online education to date. Brightspace is a flexible, scalable, and cloud-based platform that allows online institutions to reach more students using the technology already in their hands: mobile devices. This makes learning more collaborated, continuous, and contagious. No matter the number of students, education is equally accessible, efficient, and effective to truly drive student and institutions success.

Kaplan’s typical student is a 34-year-old working female with children. An online education for this student is not a want, it is a need. It allows her to achieve her learning goals.
We get feedback that rolls into our inbox every semester saying, ‘thank you. I can’t believe it was so easy. I’m already building my course sites. I didn’t have to email anyone and ask for permission.
Brightspace was the best system for our university and for our students’ needs.
Many vendors can’t handle the number of enrolments that SNHU is taking on. And it’s going to grow.
