The Challenge
Traditional Course Content Isn’t Built for Modern Learning
Static Content Can Limit Engagement
Long pages of text and one-way content can make it difficult for learners to stay engaged, apply concepts and retain what they’ve learned.
Creating Interactive Content Takes Time and Can Create Complexity
Faculty and instructional designers often need specialized design or development support to turn ideas into effective, interactive learning experiences.
Disconnected Tools Create More Work
When content-authoring tools sit outside the LMS, educators must manage extra logins, integrations and workflows.
Course Content Needs to Support Diverse Learners
Modern higher education content should be accessible, flexible and designed to support different learning preferences, abilities and contexts.
A Powerful Authoring Suite for More Engaging Learning
D2L Creator+ helps institutions modernize course content directly within Brightspace. With more than 50 H5P interactive content types, educators can create dynamic learning experiences, reinforce key concepts and support learner success without adding unnecessary complexity.
Create Engaging Content Without Coding
Give educators the tools to build interactive courses without requiring advanced design or development skills.
Build Directly in Brightspace
Creator+ is embedded in the Brightspace Editor, helping educators create, manage and update content within their existing workflows.
Support Assessment and Feedback
Add gradable interactive content that connects with the Brightspace Gradebook, keeping learner data and progress in one place.
Create Consistent, On-Brand Courses
Use pre-built templates and global branding styles to help maintain a consistent experience across courses and programs.
What Educators Are Saying
Content Creation 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.

Help your institution transform static materials into interactive learning experiences with D2L Creator+ and H5P.
We really love Creator+. It’s intuitive and easy to use. And because faculty are able to do it, it really helps when you have a small instructional design team.Elizabeth PearsallThe American College of Financial Services
