D2L is easy to use, easy for my students to use AND offers great help and webinars.
What do you like best about the product?
That HTML Templates can easily be added to my courses to make nthem look interesting, and something students want to work in. The tricks and tools from today's Discussions are something I am going to explore this semester.
What do you dislike about the product?
When something doesn't work (because it is something I set or did) it is difficult to figure out the situation. It took me about 4 semesters to get the "Show current student grade" to implement. LOL
My main dislike is the differences in start and end dates versus due dates. I want students to see the assignment, quiz, etc after an end date to study for exams but do not want them to submit any work because they then think their work will be graded. An end date doesn't allow them to see the assignment or quiz. The due date allows them to see the assignment or quiz and still submit it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My courses before were pretty plain Jane. This year I have been really getting into HTML templates, badges, etc.
Trying out Activity Feed this semester and LOVE it for quick student engagement!

Admin Review
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to have the community available to reach out to at any time. I use many tools regularly, I'm just getting into using rewards; there's just so many options available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many programs require exams to be submitted in paper format for licensure. There's no easy way to print an exam from Brightspace. Or download an exam. It's also tough to create new exams with existing content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We went from entirely in-person to fully online within a matter of 1 week. Brightspace was always available and made it much easier to make that transfer.

Virtual learning with students, all their work is in one place.
Similar to other similar platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Similar to Canvas or Blackboard, it is an easy way to organize course information and share your setup from one semester to the next. Organizing grades is easy to setup and use.

Embedding videos and setting up quizzes, etc seemed easier and more intuitive to me in other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General day to day course organization/business
New to D2L, A+ experience!
What do you like best about the product?
I am new to D2L and after using Canvas and Blackboard, I find Brightspace to be the superior LMS in both functionality, and most importantly, support. I am not used to getting same day support but with D2L it happens more than it doesn't and that let's us move forward with projects without waiting for questions to be answered.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some features that other LMS providers offer that Brightspace still does not but I know they are constantly working on improving their platform and adding new features very often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are constantly improving the student experience and that is because of amazing teams in both the workplace and our dedicated support team at D2L. Our ultimate goal is for students to be successful and our partnership with D2L makes that possible.
