Personalized learning paths
The adaptive learning engine creates a scalable, personalized experience to help each student succeed in his or her own way.
- The semantic engine automatically links concepts to content. It develops an active understanding of each student’s progress against learning objectives and of where they need extra help.
- Instructors can use the learning objectives, content, and questions they’ve already created for a course to set unique learning paths for each student.
- Course content and assessments are automatically tailored to each individual, helping deliver a personalized experience regardless of class size.
Better outcomes for at-risk students
Predictive analytics and visual diagnostics can help instructors identify at-risk students in a course and take action to help them improve.
- Intuitive dashboards transform complex learner data into easily identified patterns of student engagement and academic risk.
- Integrated workflows help instructors quickly take prescriptive action for at-risk and disengaged students.
- With a better understanding of what’s working and what isn’t, instructors can improve and optimize their course content and delivery over time.
Insights Report Builder (IRB)* has allowed me to easily look at the use of Quizzes and Assignments across the University, this has been very useful through a challenging examination period. I look forward to exploring the platform in greater detail over the coming months.

LeaP is not a teaching tool, it’s a learning tool. It empowers students to work on their knowledge and skills independently, which in turn frees the instructors to focus on teaching new skills rather than covering old ground.
As a teacher, it’s not the scores that matter— it’s the engagement we’re seeing from the students. They see a clear connection between using LeaP and gaining confidence in their learning, so adoption has been high.
With data drawn from Brightspace, we can intervene with an at-risk student even before they're aware they're at risk.
The insights portal that Brightspace offers is incredible — and data is something we want to be more thoughtful of and make sure that we are making decisions that are appropriate for our students based on data.

The analytics capabilities of Brightspace are extremely beneficial to teachers. They give teachers the ability to look at data on students’ assignments and quiz scores that help them reflect on how well they are getting through to our students. That’s what truly makes Brightspace powerful, and we’ve seen big changes in the way we teach as a result.
