Press Release
Global learning technology leader D2L announced today that Ohio Christian University selected the Brightspace platform as its learning management system.
Ohio Christian University is a Christian, rural university located in Circleville, Ohio. It was recently named a top online college in Ohio, recognizing the over 50 Certificate, Associate, Bachelor and Master level degree programs offered online.
“Student retention is a top priority for us, and that’s why we selected Brightspace as our learning management system,” says Dr. Bradford Sample, Provost at Ohio Christian University. “Brightspace will give us the ability to identify and track at-risk students in real-time, which will be invaluable for us as effective educators.”
According to Ohio Christian, Brightspace offered several advantages over competitor platforms including:
- Future-Proof: Brightspace supports advanced learning methods that Ohio Christian is actively considering adopting, including competency-based education and outcomes-based learning.
- Mobile Responsiveness: A mobile responsive platform was critical to driving student adoption and engagement, a high priority for Ohio Christian.
- A True Partnership: D2L’s commitment to continual improvement and working as a true partner with educators stood out as a clear advantage for Brightspace.
“We’re really pleased that Ohio Christian chose to move over to Brightspace from one of our competitors,” says Lee Poteck, Vice President Education at D2L. “We’re looking forward to continuing to work with them as they work on developing their competency and outcomes-based curriculum.”
