Empowering students and staff with e-learning innovation
Keen to expand the reach of its post-secondary courses, Fanshawe College worked closely with students, faculty members and D2L to find new ways to make its resources easier for everyone to use. By building on its use of the Brightspace learning management system, the college has been working on a series of innovation projects that will help more students reach their educational goals.
Adapting to meet student needs
In the increasingly competitive job market, employers are placing a greater emphasis on education. Students from less-fortunate backgrounds often lack access to the courses that will help them gain marketable skills—but Temple College aims to provide equal opportunities to anyone who is willing to learn. With D2L’s Brightspace platform, the college has been able to double enrollment within four years by developing engaging, accessible and user-friendly online learning resources.
Empowering Teachers to Excel
K-12 teachers dedicate their lives to their students— but balancing that commitment with family life and other responsibilities can leave little time for professional development. By working with D2L to build a flexible online learning platform, the Professional Development Institute is helping teachers fit learning into their busy lives and lift classroom standards around the world.
Building a Partnership to Drive Digital Evolution
To enhance its digital learning experience, Algonquin College wanted to simplify its complex infrastructure and replace six learning management systems with just one: D2L’s Brightspace platform.

A digital book club and other unique ways that HWCDSB uses Ontario’s VLE
Ontario’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a dynamic learning platform powered by D2L’s Brightspace. The VLE is provided by the Ministry of Education at no cost to Ontario publicly funded school boards. Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB) is the Catholic school board for Hamilton, Ontario, serving students in 48 elementary schools, seven secondary schools, and one adult and continuing education program. “I believe that the VLE is a rich resource of digital tools for all educators and students in Ontario. The VLE has radically transformed over the past few years and continues to become both a more user-friendly and mobile-friendly platform. It always keeps safety and security at its core and continues to make great strides in all areas.” —Michael Noronha, TELT Contact, HWCDSB
Bringing students and teachers together with engaging distance learning
When British Columbia introduced a new curriculum, SIDES faced a major challenge: nearly all its courses needed to be revised, and some of its older paper-based materials needed to be rewritten for online delivery. SIDES used the Brightspace platform from D2L to create a new set of flexible and engaging courses fast, enabling teachers to provide the right level of content to meet each student’s needs.
