Press Release
Global learning leader D2L announced today that it has entered into a buying agreement with NERCOMP (NorthEast Regional Computing Program) to make the Brightspace learning management system more easily available to all of its member schools. Founded in 1956, NERCOMP is a non-profit consortium supporting the work of information technology and library professionals at post-secondary schools in the Northeastern United States.
D2L’s Brightspace platform is already in use at many of the schools in the NERCOMP consortium, including the University of Rhode Island, the Maine Community College System, and Wentworth Institute of Technology. For schools currently not using Brightspace, the new buying agreement will help them adopt D2L’s signature learning management system through reduced per-user pricing and transition support.
“We talked to members already using Brightspace, and they spoke highly of the platform and the people at D2L,” says Ananda Jones, Assistant Director of Partnerships, Marketing and Project Management at NERCOMP. “We look forward to working with D2L to support their mission of making sure learners reach their full potential with the personalized learning from Brightspace.”
“NERCOMP has been a leader in building partnerships to deliver innovation in educational technology since the 1950s, so we’re incredibly excited to be working with them,” said Michael Beattie, Senior Director, Higher Education at D2L. “This agreement will make it easier for more of their members to move to the Brightspace platform, and we know from experience that administration, faculty and learners will all benefit when they do.”
