Singapore Polytechnic Uses D2L Brightspace to Help Upskill Staff with Gen AI Training

Singapore Polytechnic’s self-paced program can increase confidence in using Gen AI tools

Press Release

D2L, a global leader in learning innovation, recognizes Singapore Polytechnic’s use of D2L Brightspace to help them respond to their growing need for AI competencies by equipping more than 1,400 staff with foundational generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) skills.  

Singapore Polytechnic designed and deployed the self-paced learning package, Jumpstart your Gen AI Journey, in just three months, leveraging the flexibility and personalization of D2L Brightspace to help track progress and unlock content based on proficiency. Singapore Polytechnic’s package includes both foundational and advanced content, which can allow staff to tailor their learning experience based on proficiency levels. 

According to Singapore Polytechnic, the highly accessible and user-friendly design of Jumpstart your Gen AI Journey has helped to replace face-to-face workshops while increasing staff adoption of Gen AI tools and engagement with AI-related projects. Singapore Polytechnic also deployed intelligent agents to offer gentle nudges to staff to help maintain engagement and drive learning completion rates. Singapore Polytechnic reported that as of December 2024, six months after the program launched, 94% of staff had completed the advanced level course and 80% of staff felt the learning outcomes were clear, relevant, and well-organized. 

At D2L, we believe that empowering educators and staff with the right tools and training can help them confidently integrate AI into the classroom, and is important to help them better navigate the future of work and learning. We are proud to support Singapore Polytechnic’s commitment to innovation as they help staff upskill and encourage thoughtful integration of AI into everyday learning.
