Press Release
Global learning technology leader D2L announced today that Lourdes University has selected the Brightspace platform as its learning management system to deliver competency-based education (CBE) programs.
Lourdes University is a private four-year university located in Sylvania, Ohio. The institution is in the process of introducing new CBE programs and needed a scalable learning management system to deliver those programs to upwards of 200 students.
“Brightspace is exactly the solution we needed to start delivering CBE for our students,” says Terry M. Keller, the Vice President for Academic Affairs at Lourdes University. “It’s a great fit with our students and teachers, and we really appreciate the fact that Brightspace can integrate into our CBE offerings seamlessly, with no additional cost or training.”
According to Lourdes, Brightspace offered several advantages over competitor platforms including:
- Responsiveness: Brightspace sends automated feedback and triggers next steps based on performance to help learners assess their progress and move forward.
- Ease of Use: Reviewers found Brightspace intuitive and easy to use, yet powerful and more than capable of meeting the complex and diverse needs.
- 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 excited Lourdes University chose Brightspace, and we’re happy to be partnering with them to deliver innovative CBE programs. We have in-house expertise that we can draw on to assist the university with moving their curriculum to a scalable CBE delivery model,” says Lee Poteck, Vice President Education at D2L.
