D2L Review
What do you like best about the product?
The User Interface is easy to use and intuitive. I always do anything you need in just a few clicks, and I love how the content is well displayed on every device I use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like when the material for the course is presented just the rigth way, everything aligned all well functioning, and while most of the time the experience is seaminless I must admit that there are certain courses that are not displayed exactly as the designers intended; usually, this involves courses generated for another LMS. In these specific cases, some links do not work as intended. I'm glad about the current functionality, but I genuinely believe that if the development personnel can focus on compatibility issues, it will become an outstanding experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The first and most crucial problem solved using D2L Brightspace (in our Institution) was overcoming these challenging times with the current pandemic. D2L enabled us to continue with the classes. Most of the students and professors loved how easy it was to continue their meetings in the online modality.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please focus on the requirement of your students. It was a charming surprise to have direct access to the library software of my institution, all the articles and papers I required all in one click.
An excellent LMS to administrate your school courses, good tutorials and big community.
What do you like best about the product?
Course content creation, many options to create digital courses, interactive content through HTML, adaptable to any other app such as genially, nearpod and more!
What do you dislike about the product?
System failures take a lot of time to be solved and generates a lot of frustration between teachers and students with file sharing, connecting with office 365, assignments and else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Course Content creation is something we needed for future generations, is simple to create courses, assign students and keep track of assignments, grades, forums, and portfolio.
The most efficient educational platform
What do you like best about the product?
The efficiency with which the tasks are carried out, both for structuring the classes and for qualifying everything at the same time and in most cases becoming automated
What do you dislike about the product?
How do the exam questions have to be created if they can become more automated in some way since it is done one by one. In addition to how some home page templates are populated (for content creation), these templates are complicated to edit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The use of the rubrics for the qualification of the works is very good. Topics can be ordered in a friendly way with the class structure. These two elements allow a learning path for students to be created.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To date, it is the most straightforward and most efficient educational platform that I have used to guide student learning and to transmit any knowledge that allows an evaluation of learning consistent with current times where distance is no longer an obstacle to education.
Beyond Satisfied
What do you like best about the product?
One of the main reasons we chose Brightspace and continue to be satisfied with Brightspace is its user-friendly navigation and design. Additionally, I like the stability of the tools in Brightspace and the ability to integrate 3rd party providers into our LMS easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much ;) Some faculty here still lament slight differences between tools in Brightspace and our previous LMS (Blackboard allowed instructors to check a box in the announcements tool and have the announcement also sent as an email to students).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing Brightspace courses to organizations and departments on campus has dramatically improved communication and provided a centralized area for important documents.
Great LMS
What do you like best about the product?
User friendly and improves engagement and interaction of students and staff
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not allow students to co-evaluate their assignments, and sometimes uploading videos or documents takes a very long time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brightspace allows teachers to focus on what's essential while providing content that students may benefit from, increasing their engagement. It also makes copying classes, different resources, grading, and giving feedback extremely easy. Another thing that teachers may benefit from is the tools (dashbiard) that Brightspace provides to monitor students' progress.
I love it!
What do you like best about the product?
BrightSpace is an awesome LMS. I like its intuitive and responsive interface and modern design. The learning analytics that it offers has helped us to better understand how teachers and students are using it and make better decisions. Although I haven't tried it, I think the adaptive learning module is a great feature that will allow us to personalize student learning experience in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I haven't found anything that I dislike. Maybe, you can improve/include some automatic integrations (LTI - API) or add some social media features (Like reactions, votes, polls...), but I know you are always considering these improvements and updates in your road map.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that BrightSpace is helping us to solve is that teachers use the LMS not as a repository of information but as a learning space that complements face-to-face learning. Since it has an intuitive interface, we have also found benefits for our online programs project,
satisfied
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is pleasant and intuitive, easy to use and easy to adapt to.
What do you dislike about the product?
The import of content from blackboard does not work properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Support for my classes, space to share content, easy to make evaluations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have previously used other LMS systems you will probably find it easy to migrate to D2L Brightspace, I think that compared to others it stands out for being very user friendly.
My experience in Brightspace after changing jobs
What do you like best about the product?
It is a well-structured learning environment, with all the essential elements of an in-person class but with suitable integrations for hybrid or distance teaching. It promotes fundamental aspects of current teaching, such as: active methodologies, teamwork and collaboration; constant communication between users and through various means. As well as, new trends in evaluation.
What do you dislike about the product?
The guide is very helpful, however, there are so many configurations that I would like to have a video or a videoconference assistant (in Spanish) to support me in implementing the elements it offers. To cite a mere example, Teams or Office 365, especially when it shows an error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a short time, I have realized that the implementation of Brightspace in my workplace allows for the management of all the courses offered at PrepaIbero (Mexico). I support teachers in solving their technical and pedagogical questions related to Brightspace. We are working with D2L Brightspace for the integration of our school control system with the Brightspace platform through an API, which will reduce the administrative burden and allow us to focus our attention on the full adoption of the LMS with the teachers.
Bueno
What do you like best about the product?
That everything can be configurable and adaptable to any type of educational institution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Despite everything, there are things that the school needs and for that, one has to pay for extras.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all the educational content in one place
An excellent user-friendly platform
What do you like best about the product?
D2L Brightspace is easy to use with a quick learning curve. The D2L accompaniment is very close. While the LMS is adequate for most of the teachers' content. Currently there is a wide variety of LMS, however Brightspace stands out for its intuitive interface for both teachers and students.
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to other LMS, Brightspace falls short in some respects, especially code manipulation, as it is a closed source platform. However, it meets most needs. Although the resources and activities are complete, the forum section (exchange activities between students) does not have all the options available in other LMS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
D2L Brightspace offers an out-of-the-box solution for delivering synchronous and asynchronous content for distance education. It´s quickly implemented in an almost closed package. Another important virtue is the rapid adoption by teachers, thanks to its fast learning curve.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend having a complete trial period of the platform first to know if it meets and correctly meets all expectations; each LMS aims to meet different needs of institutions. The process of implementing a new LMS is not easy in general. At once, implemented all users must learn to use it, and then the students. That is why the target audience (teachers and students, for example) must try the product.
