Using the Brightspace platform can help you significantly reduce your expenses in five ways:
1. Eliminate duplicate systems and get all your learning onto one platform
No need to have separate systems for portfolios, professional development, gradebooks, content management, homework, activities, and parent portals, or to use social media for communications. You can reduce training and support costs and avoid teacher frustration.
2. Leverage teacher-developed content, create it once, and share it across the district
Since it is so easy and so quick to create, author, import, and share content in Brightspace, you can leverage teacher-developed content, create it once, and share it across the district. Seamlessly add the content you already use from publishers, district-developed content, Google Drive™ online storage service, Microsoft Office365, and Open Education Resources (OER).
3. Effectively implement your OER strategy
Reduce costs and increase your content return on investment (ROI) by using the Brightspace platform to effectively implement your OER strategy. It’s an easy way to curate low-cost OER materials; lets you create libraries to organize who gets what; includes rating systems to curate quality, includes standards-aligned content; and provides data to let you know what is being used and by whom.
4. Intervene early
By giving teachers early insight into students at risk, you can take action before a formal and expensive intervention is necessary.
5. Use Brightspace for Professional Development and further improve your ROI
Deliver high-quality, ongoing PD to your teachers in an anytime, anywhere format. Free them to learn at their own pace. Reduce some of your non-instructional training time by having your teachers learn on the same platform they teach.
Schedule a demo in the next 30 days to learn about free, live support for your students using Brightspace that are blind and low-vision.
“We transitioned to D2L because it can aggregate a lot of different learning resources. Alternative LMS solutions and standard email were not efficient. We needed to centralize everything into one platform.”
