Preparing Preservice Teachers for the Technology-Enabled Classroom
Preservice teachers at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) were using D2L Brightspace as students, but they weren’t being prepared to use the learning management system to support online teaching and learning as future educators. This sparked the creation of the Technology Integration Project (TIP) in 2016. Researchers designed the project with an emphasis on preservice teachers developing Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and understanding the relationships between and among technology and teaching. As a result, preservice teachers became more prepared to teach in various online formats and became technology leaders in their schools.

Deakin University – Boosting learner engagement with an interactive interview simulation
Rising rates of students studying online, part time and from abroad are challenging educators to create more equitable learning opportunities. Meaghan Danby, of Deakin University in Australia, has been awarded a 2023 D2L Excellence Award for the online interview simulation she created in D2L Brightspace. The simulation is an equitable access resource that helps learners practice skills and receive high-quality feedback. It presents students with a virtual interviewee and has them navigate the role of interviewer by selecting questions to ask, and formative feedback is delivered in real time. The simulation has significantly improved self-guided learning: There has been a more than 40% rise in students accessing D2L resources to help with their interviewing skills.
