In this testimonial, Jefferson Pestronk, executive director at Modern States, shares how transitioning to D2L Brightspace is supporting their mission to make college education a reality. By addressing outdated and inconsistent courses, the team worked with Brightspace's learning services team to create a more streamlined, engaging experience—introducing consistent navigation, fresh content formats, and improved assessments. Despite being early into the project, Pestronk notes that exam pass rates have already gone up.
Key Highlights:
- Why Modern States chose Brightspace to deliver online courses
- How course consistency and improved assessments enhance learner success
- The impact of a frictionless content experience on engagement
- Real results: a 5-point increase in exam passage rates
"Since we've come over to Brightspace in the past year, just from making some initial changes, our exam passage rate has gone up five percentage points. So that's thousands of additional students a year who are earning college credit for free and taking the next step on their journey." – Jefferson Pestronk
