What's Bright about D2L's Brightspace
What do you like best about the product?
Brightspace has so many options just in its most basic form. Native personalization and humanization options and seamless integrations of multimedia, other platforms, and SCORM elements make up the tip of the Brightspace iceberg of differentiation from its competitors. They consistently work to improve their platform and options and are not only committed to listening to client needs but are also willing to act on them to build a better product. This LMS delivers on promises.
What do you dislike about the product?
The trade-off for increased functionality is a less user-friendly build experience than something like the Canvas platform. If you want to build great learning experiences and stretch into the platform and its tools, you will need to train. While Brightspace is a heavily supported platform, this is an extra front-loaded lift.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are working to personalize our learning experiences in self-paced non-facilitated courses. Allowing Brightspace to do some of this heavy lifting leaves us free to explore creating better designs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to explore the options included in your subscription, and don't be afraid to ask your D2L rep for what you need.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Covid, it has completely opened the possibility to show how that technology is crucial for teaching and learning
Instructional Designer using D2L
What do you like best about the product?
Brightspace provides an opportunity for all of our higher-ed courses (even the face to face sections) to optimize classroom time by flipping the classroom lecture style. I love the video note tool and assignment submissions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Updates are being made to create a co-hesive experience in evaluation but it has taken a long time to happen. I've also been a bit frustrated by not getting response to wanting to see a demo of the updates planned for the portfolio too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are streamlining the evaluation and feedback process by having students submit assignments and quizzes online. The benefits have been an increase in efficiency in certain areas.
D2L Is a Agile LMS ready for your learner
What do you like best about the product?
D2L Brightspace listens to its customers and is constantly updating and enhancing functionality to meet the changing needs of education. D2L has started using a chat feature for tech support which is very helpful. I also really like that when they launch a new update to UI you have an option to opt out.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting metrics (especially around quizzes) tends to be a bit lacking. When rolling out new features, they often drop some of the essential parts of the old version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My organization is looking to solve the problem of student engagement and accountability. Using SCORM packages with interactive content, we can report grades back to the D2L grade book allowing students to know precisely where they stand and our faculty to know that a student actively participated in the lecture.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
D2L provides a lot of flexibility and is very reliable with little downtime. They are fantastic about responding to customer needs and do frequent releases.
D2L's Brightspace and Online Learning
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Brightspace is easy for Administrators, Faculty, and Students to use. The interface is intuitive, the community for support is knowledgeable, and it does everything we need it to do to support and deliver a quality program!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like it to 'remember' more settings for me as an administrator.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are delivering quality courses and orientation modules for our students in an online setting. Students definitely like the look and feel and find it easy to use right off the bat to start the program.
D2L is innovative and intuitive.
What do you like best about the product?
Instructors have everything they need to run an organizedand informative class
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to pick one aspect of D2L I would like to see change, it would be more streamlined processes regarding grade item creation. The recent update of haveing a grade item for a Dropbox assignment made automatically is a great first step.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been helping faculty members move their face-to-face courses to being fully remote. D2L definitely helps instructors and students both feel connected as if they were in a face-to-face setting together.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
I love D2L Brightspace, you can customize things, tools you want to choose for your class, support accessibility, and usability. We've been using it for more than 10 years. HTML pages are easily controlled, and using template courses is easy. I'm also in the D2L Accessibility User group, and it's really great to learn a variety of things you can do within Brightspace. We also have Creator+ added and look forward to seeing how H5P is included with Brightspace next year, 2025. :)
Keep on improving the product.
Keep on improving the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were consistency between one tool and another. For example, bulk edits in Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, and Grades differ. Bulk editing in Discussion is completely useless.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making beautiful and accessible content pages. D2L can do many custom HTML templates and can have many elements like H5P embedded within the content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really good and solid LMS, easy to import and export content.
D2L Brightspace Engage Learners
What do you like best about the product?
Facile à utiliser, bon service client facile à joindre
What do you dislike about the product?
The text suggests that there is a need for more improvement in areas such as integration with Gsuite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Make courses more appealing
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the ease of user and customer service
D2L: A strong LMS for instructors and learners
What do you like best about the product?
D2L provides a clean, customizable interface for faculty course development. The platform makes it easy for institutions to standardize the experience for their users while also allowing flexibility for individualized courses where needed.
The assignments, quizzes, and discussions tools allow instructors to easily and rapidly set up and manage assessments within the shell, and the new feature that creates grade items along with new assignment creation makes development much more efficient. Providing accommodations for assignments has also been made easier by allowing instructors to provide special access to students across all quizzes in the course all at once.
Providing detailed feedback to students in D2L is easy, as the platform offers a variety of ways to share instructor critique, including video, audio, annotation, and text.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some tasks in D2L can be performed in a number of different ways, which sometimes adds confusion to instructors who are new to the platform.
Question Pools are not easy to figure out, and issues can arise when quizzes that make use of this feature are copied from a former shell without the pool attached. In this instance, the quiz must be published to the LOR and pulled into the new course to access the questions in this grouping.
Assigning Groups to Discussion topics is also a difficult task, as some of the wording of the features are unclear. Despiting having done this a number of times, it is difficult to remember the steps involved and whether or not it is set up correctly for students. Often I'll need to double-check my work using a demo student to ensure it functions properly.

Currently, our team has developed a series of modularized, scalable trainings for faculty course development/qualification at the college. Through the use of competencies and badges, we have set up our training so that faculty will not be required to complete a module shared amongst learning pathways if they earned their badge elsewhere.
