More than 1,000 organisations in over 40 countries around the world rely on D2L to help them transform learning.
Elevating student engagement through block learning
Higher education’s transition to fully online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst for change at institutions that use technology to widen participation and maximise student engagement. The University of Suffolk conducted a pilot of a transformative ‘block and blend’ teaching and learning model to optimise COVID-necessitated distance learning outcomes and pave the way for innovative course formats in the future. The D2L Brightspace platform was integral to course and module design and delivery, enabling an active blended learning approach.
Supporting students in crisis
When the COVID-19 emergency hit the Middle East, most universities were forced to close their doors, leaving students with no way to continue their education. Luminus Education stepped up to fill the gap by rolling out online services to over 6,000 students—including thousands of Syrian refugees—in a matter of weeks.
Maintaining learning during the COVID-19 crisis
In the spring of 2020, schools in the UK transitioned to distance learning as the COVID-19 pandemic forced full or partial building closures and confined students to home. For West Bridgford School (WBS), rapidly adjusting to the change meant expanding its existing use of D2L’s Brightspace to deliver virtual classrooms, online assessments and interactive discussion forums. Since 2017 the high-performing school for students aged 11−18 has used Brightspace to extend learning beyond the classroom, delivering personalised and flexible student experiences. This foundation in online learning meant it was well placed to make a rapid and successful adjustment when the crisis hit.
Empowering students to succeed
Wageningen University is always on the lookout for innovative ways to enable students to achieve their full potential. To complement its traditional teaching methods, the university deployed D2L’s Brightspace platform, enabling teachers to build compelling, interactive learning experiences that drive student engagement and success.
Empowering students with independent learning
How engaging learning experiences have helped a University of Huddersfield professor achieve 100 percent pass rates
Traditional approaches to university teaching can make it difficult for instructors to identify gaps in student understanding, which impacts pass rates and creates barriers to educational attainment. The University of Huddersfield is using the Brightspace platform to shape engaging blended learning experiences and reports that the pass rate for one professor’s courses has been boosted to 100 percent.
