Accessibility for Diverse Learner Types
The Brightspace platform is built with accessibility top of mind. Designing with empathy is the hallmark of our user experience teams. By aligning our processes with global accessibility standards, our products are designed to be usable by people with disabilities and interoperable with assistive technologies.
Personalized Learning Paths and Competency-Based Education

Brightspace is designed from the ground up for mobile—with a responsive design that works on ANY device. Students can also build presentation and critical-thinking skills using the built-in video capabilities of Brightspace. Learning has never been this fun and social before!
Ability to Leverage Collaboration between Multiple Institutions
Consortiums and districts can make use of Brightspace Site Tabs to switch between sites with a single click, right in the platform. You’ll save time and improve learner outcomes, all while maintaining a streamlined look and feel across your institutions.
