Brightspace by D2L, our best ally
What do you like best about the product?
It allowed us to successfully cope with confinement with an agile transition. It was very easy to train all our teachers in the basic use in a very short time.

Brightspace for Distance Learning and in-person Learning
What do you like best about the product?
I like that BS has a personalized page for every subject, where you can have tabs for assignments, grades, and more. Announcements are shown clearly on every course home page, and it is helpful to link pages and files there.
I like how the content is organized in modules and includes checkmarks for completion. Checkmarks make it easy to follow, and kids can keep track of what they have completed or not. The "content" tab is easy to navigate, and you can include slides, links, videos, assignments, and more.

What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that you cannot edit classes in bulk. When teaching the same subject/grade but different sections, you sometimes want to post the same thing to every section, and doing this is hard.
It is often not very user-friendly; kids have a hard time learning how to navigate the platform. It has many links and tabs, and a lot of micromanaging is needed to update or fully use a teacher page.
I wish we could incorporate our zoom links there, and kids could access the call through BS instead of posting the link on our announcements. Submission is sometimes glitchy. Sometimes, uploaded documents take some time to load or get stuck.
I wish there were some form that kids could edit a submission live.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During distance learning, we needed a place where we could have grades, assignments, and lesson files together, and BS solved this. We needed something that gave kids an organized module format for distance learning, and this is the best one yet! The "content" tab is easy to navigate, and you can include slides, links, videos, assignments, and more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
- take some time to review and get used to the platform
- explore and do not be afraid to make mistakes

Professional, friendly and absolute joy to work with
What do you like best about the product?
The incredibly helpful staff have really made the difference and ensured that what was already a great product actually stood out from others that were also good products but not as good an experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's time-consuming in the case of you start to get really sucked into experimenting with different tools and really want to spend the majority of your working time just on the platform; even this isn't remotely a negative but has the most potential to cause a disturbance in working life.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest issue we had was finding a product that met basic business needs but also provided an easy, fast way to get the programmes online and not cause chaos in the schedules of different people across the team for training and preparation time. The benefits to the programmes themselves once online were clear for all to see, and the low amount of time it has taken to get them to that point was remarkable.

We had been using Brightspaces for the last six years. During this time, CEIPA had improved the quality of the virtual services for all our students.

In all those years we have been working with Brightspaces we never have stopped the services to our student's.

I encourage D2L to launch and App for tables so students can have more access to the LMS. Brightspaces have all the data to create and dashboard to help the user to understand better what is happening in the institution. There are different tools and some are difficult to find the documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CEIPA is dual modality institution. We offer on-line and in-person but all students have the same platform Brightspaces. Thanks to Brightspaces the students can essealy change form one modality to another when they need it. Thanks to realibilty of Brightspace we can offer a continue services accesible in all the country. The use of portfolio helps to collect the work of the students and provided evidences need it to evaluate the performance of the students. Teacher can have master class, that can improve each years helping to preserver good practices and optimice the time in the configure each class. In the last year Brightspace was crucial for the continuity of the operation of the institution, we didn't stop any moment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, Brightspace is reliable, friendly, and intuitive. The process for adoption is quick, and the integration is simple. Our community likes to use the App Pulse for movil device, an excellent tool for the students. The teacher finds easy to use the Brightspace to help our students to succed. The LTI protocol help to integrate to different tools that is needed for digital environments. The number of vendedores that can integrate to Brightspaces is more that enough to have different options and choose the rights tools that works better for the Institution.

The challenge I had was to take our existing Brightspace deployment and expand it into a new, two-year, multi-course certification program with specialization electives and a capstone course...which was accomplished!
What do you dislike about the product?
The power of the platform is its extensibility, but that comes with a cost of complexity to learn...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a completely new, modern curriculum, with as much video and interactive content as possible. I have a large community of marketing professionals to pull from in terms of SME, and Brightspace allowed me to use many aspects of written, video and peer-to-peer content usage.

The enviroment is easy and complete.
