Press Release
Global learning technology leader D2L announced today that National Education Partners (NEP) is finding success in online and hybrid learning by using D2L Brightspace as NEP looks to enhance, personalize, and humanize learning experiences.
NEP collaborates with higher education institutions to provide comprehensive support services including enrollment, marketing, administration, and operations. NEP works with their partners to explore all Brightspace options, with the goal of breaking convention, developing content mastery, and experiential course offerings.
“It is our design goal for our partner organizations to get the absolute most out of Brightspace. We start every project by asking ourselves, ‘How good can we make this?’. If we’re going to do the work, we want to do the best work possible,” says Dr. Teri Herron, Director of Customized Education at NEP. “Our goal is to humanize education by allowing Brightspace to do some of the heavy lifting, thus freeing up time for us to think outside the box about what we want the overall experience to be for our learners.”
NEP is a winner of a 2021 D2L Excellence Award. The award is open to any organization using D2L Brightspace, an award-winning learning management system. They were recognized for their innovative work with the National University System’s Workforce Education Solutions on their Peace Officers Standards and Training courses that provide effective virtual training in critical areas, including community policing. The Community Policing course has received positive results since it began in January, with participants indicating it has greatly increased their understanding and ability to better serve their communities. Participants have also noted the quality of the program is superior to law enforcement training programs they have previously experienced.
“As we prepare for our annual Fusion conference this month, we’re celebrating our customers and the ways in which they are changing the world,” says April Oman, Senior Vice President, Customer Engagement at D2L. “We love to see our customers dive into Brightspace to create the best possible learning experiences for students, and NEP is doing just that. NEP is helping their partners get back to what’s truly important – teaching and learning through personalized, engaging, thoughtful content.”
