Designed to support organizations, educators, and learners, D2L Lumi can enhance the human learning experience through AI-enabled tools integrated directly within D2L Brightspace. D2L Lumi helps educators and instructional designers build engaging course content with interactive practice questions, generate content-aligned quizzes, and connect learning outcomes to assessments; helping save time while supporting meaningful learning outcomes. For learners, D2L Lumi offers personalized study suggestions based on quiz results, provides a built-in tutor, and delivers 24/7 answers to common questions.
“Being recognized by the Business Intelligence Group for the second year in a row is an honor. We are leveraging AI to transform learning and increase access to more personalized experiences. With D2L Lumi, we are integrating purposeful AI across the skills journey to help educators work more efficiently, engage learners in new ways, and deliver meaningful insights to help improve learning outcomes.”
The Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards recognize organizations, technologies, and professionals who are leveraging AI to address real-world challenges, improve human experiences, and drive meaningful progress. Winners are selected by a panel of industry experts who evaluate nominees based on their creativity, impact, and measurable success.
“The 2026 AI Excellence Award winners are not talking about AI. They are building with it,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group. “What stood out this year was the sheer accountability of the work. These are organizations and individuals who can point to measurable outcomes – lives protected, fraud prevented, patients helped, workflows transformed. Agentic AI emerged as the dominant theme, which tells you something important: the industry has moved past prompts and pilots. The winners are now orchestrating AI systems that act, adapt, and deliver at scale.”
With more than 25 years of experience in learning and technology, D2L continues to invest in AI-driven innovation to help improve learning experiences around the world. This recognition marks the ninth award for D2L Lumi since its launch in 2024.
