Let our team of experts handle the implementation so your instructors can stay focused on supporting student growth. D2L is already a trusted partner for these faith-based institutions:
“It was important for us to have a learning platform that would be the best possible fit for our institution,” said Barbara Fassett, Director of Information Technology at McCormick Theological Seminary. “We know that D2L has features that were lacking in our previous platform, it integrates with our existing Student Information System, and that is both powerful and easy to use. For us, there was no question that it was D2L.”
Your students are active both in their communities and abroad. Brightspace can provide the support they need to collaborate with others inside and outside the classroom through mobile accessibility.
