How do you overcome skepticism about online learning and create inclusive education for a diverse audience, consisting of everyone from roadworkers to engineers? In this video, Kyla Di Perna, an instructional designer at Good Roads, shares how her team used D2L Brightspace to transform training for infrastructure professionals across the vast province of Ontario.
Before the pandemic, many believed online learning wouldn’t work for this sector. A sector that was largely reluctant and skeptical of online learning. But by leveraging Brightspace and offering training in dynamic, interactive ways, it gained traction. Di Perna explains how Brightspace also helped bridge the gaps caused by cost, distance and time constraints, making learning more accessible for over 2,000 learners annually.
Key Takeaways:
- Inclusive learning environments for remote and rural learners.
- Flexible course delivery through blended, asynchronous and online formats.
- Scalable program design with modular structures for national growth.
- Ease of use for instructional designers, students, instructors and administrators alike.
“Brightspace has really helped to catapult us in the online space and fostered an environment that has made it easy for students, instructors, administrators and staff alike to achieve our goals.” — Kyla Di Perna
