Empowering educators with community-focused learning
For years now, ISTE has been helping educators learn how to take advantage of technology. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and schools switched to a fully online teaching model, they embraced technology-enabled learning in many ways. ISTE played a key role in helping thousands of educators level up their pedagogical skills through both certification and bite-size competency-based professional learning courses.
Breaking down barriers to student success
When students enroll at Georgia State University (GSU), their ethnicity and income level are not predictors of whether they will graduate with a degree. For the past six years, African American, Latinx and Pell Grant students have graduated at or above the rate of the student body overall, and GSU has conferred more bachelor’s degrees to African American students than any other institution in the United States. So, what’s GSU doing differently? The answer lies in its sophisticated use of data and analytics.
Bringing ASL to online learners through video
When students in the U.S. pick a language to learn at school, ASL is one of the most popular choices. VHS Learning decided to build an innovative set of online ASL courses, using Video Notes in D2L’s Brightspace platform to enable students and teachers to film themselves signing answers to questions. The first course offering proved instantly popular with students, achieving full enrollment within a month of its launch.
Starting adventures in online learning
Northeastern Technical College (NETC) has a mission to show underserved students the value of technical education and open their eyes to the opportunities available in their local communities. For students who may be the first in their family to go to college, mentorship and support are vital. That’s why NETC is using D2L Brightspace to provide students with an engaging, supportive college experience, even when they’re studying at home.
Planting the seeds of learning worldwide
When the COVID-19 pandemic prevented visitors from experiencing Longwood Gardens in person, the organization’s education team made that experience virtual by extending its at-home and hybrid learning options. Using D2L Brightspace, Longwood Gardens is engaging a wider audience with the natural world, helping to excite the next generation of horticulturists.
Empowering sales professionals nationwide
The CPSA wanted to make its national professional sales competency framework accessible for salespeople throughout Canada—but a reliance on in-person training and paper-based exams made it difficult to extend beyond the major cities. By harnessing D2L Brightspace, the organization has successfully moved to an online model and built partnerships with postsecondary education providers across the country.
