Press Release

D2L, a global learning technology company, today celebrates its 25th anniversary and the progress that it has made on its mission to transform the way the world learns. 

Founded in 1999, D2L now works with over 1,300 corporate and education customers in over 40 countries to help create better, more personal, highly accessible, and engaging learning experiences that can help people achieve more than they dreamed possible.  

“A lot has changed in the world in 25 years, but our mission to transform the way the world learns has never wavered,” said John Baker, Founder and CEO of D2L. “We have seen the profound difference learning can make in people’s lives and the positive impact it can have as it ripples across campuses, companies, communities, and countries – fueling growth, innovation, and creativity.” 

D2L has established itself as a leader in learning innovation, informed by pedagogy and driven by technology, and its learning innovation platform is now used by more than 18 million people. Along the way, D2L has received numerous awards and accolades for its services, security, and corporate culture. D2L will mark its anniversary today with the grand opening of its new headquarters in Kitchener, Ontario with an event attended by D2L employees and local dignitaries.  

“At D2L, we are always looking to help solve the big challenges – just as John did when he founded this company to help make learning more accessible and personal,” said Stephen Laster, President of D2L. “As the world undergoes significant change and disruption, there has never been a time when our work to transform learning has mattered more. We’re excited about the future – and remain committed to the same values of hard work, curiosity and innovation that made our first 25 years such a success.”
