We are committed to open standards, which allow our customers to integrate necessary administrative tools, and teaching and learning tools to seamlessly create richer experiences. David Koehn, our Senior Vice President of Product Management, was elected to a three-year term on the IMS Global Consortium Board of Directors. We also have award-winning D2L staff involved in project groups and product steering committees to help define, implement, and encourage acceptance of standards.
Our Certifications
D2L’s Brightspace platform helps you deliver a personalized learning experience for anyone, no matter where they are. We continue to lead the industry in number of certifications held with IMS Global, and were the first commercial LMS to be certified for IMS Learning Information Services (LIS), only days after conformance tests were finalized.
We are proud supporters of the Standards First Pledge.
As part of a community that is committed to make open standards the first and primary choice for education technology integrations, we are advocates for standards based integrations. We believe that achieving and promoting official product certification to open standards enables a better edtech ecosystem and community and believe in fair and open business practices for suppliers. This is a cause we are passionate about and have taken the Standards First pledge to confirm our support. Find out more about Standards First.
