The Challenge
AI Is Everywhere. Education-Ready AI Isn’t.
Higher education institutions are under pressure to adopt AI quickly. But when generic tools are added to existing systems, they can create new risks, extra work and disconnected experiences that don’t reflect how teaching and learning really happens.
Generic AI Can Create Privacy and Trust Risks
Institutions need AI that protects student data and supports responsible use. Without education-specific safeguards, even helpful tools can introduce concerns around safety, privacy and compliance.
New Tools Can Add More Work
When faculty have to learn another platform, switch between systems or rebuild workflows, AI can become one more thing to manage instead of a way to save time.
Disconnected AI Creates Integration Headaches
AI works best when it fits into the learning environment. If it sits outside the LMS, institutions may face more complexity across setup, access, support and long-term maintenance.
AI Needs Teaching and Learning Context
Generic AI doesn’t always understand course design, assessment, accessibility or student support. Without that context, outputs can feel disconnected from the real work of education.
AI That Fits the Way Education Works
D2L Lumi helps institutions bring AI into course design, content creation and learning support without adding disconnected tools or unnecessary complexity. See how it works inside Brightspace.
Designed for Education From the Ground Up
Every D2L Lumi feature is built with pedagogy, course design and learner outcomes at its core.
No Data Used to Train the Model. Ever.
Institutions stay in control of their data. D2L’s responsible AI principles govern how AI is developed and deployed, not an afterthought.
Built Directly Into Brightspace
D2L Lumi is embedded directly into educators daily workflows.
Built by People Who Understand Learning Science
Created by learning experts, not just technologists. Every feature is informed by learning science, accessibility best practices, and feedback from institutions.
Your Data is Yours.
No customer data is used to train D2L Lumi. Institutions control when, where, and how AI features are available — with full transparency into how D2L Lumi works. Privacy is a core design principle.
What Educators Are Saying
AI Designed for Real Education Impact
The accuracy of the questions was good. Given that this capability is integrated within D2L Brightspace and questions are based on content created in Brightspace, it is convenient to use.
Dr. Elizabeth Pearsall Vice President of Teaching and Learning, The American College of Financial Services
The process of not having to click buttons to type in the questions and set the correct answer really saved a lot of time.
Travis Hunt LMS Administrator, Northeast Iowa Community College
We’re excited about tools where students can get immediate feedback and not wait for the instructor. It’s just instantaneous and the feedback is strong.
