I really love the Intelligent Agent and Virtual Classroom tools within Brightspace. As an online instructor, these tools allow me to create a face-to-face experience for my students, which is vital for student success. The students have expressed surprise at how engaging and easy these tools are. Many have made comments that the online experience was less intimidating and more rewarding overall. Thank you D2L for providing such user friendly and interactive options for teachers and learners!
