Press Release
Global learning technology leader D2L announced today that it is entering into an innovative partnership with Nova Scotia-based NeonTrain. A new company, NeonTrain delivers online training for small and medium-sized businesses and will be using D2L’s signature platform Brightspace to support their clients.
“At NeonTrain, we believe passionately in the power of online learning to transform organizations and empower them to do what they do best,” says Rob Belliveau, NeonTrain’s founder. “I reached out to John Baker and the team at D2L in the early stages of developing NeonTrain because of their reputation as a world leader in learning technology solutions and as a made-in-Canada success story. Brightspace is a perfect fit for what we’re aspiring to do, which is to deliver transformational learning experiences.”
“I really appreciated Rob reaching out and pursuing this partnership with D2L right out of the gate,” says John Baker, President and CEO of D2L. “It’s been a real pleasure working with him and his team, and to join with them in supporting small and mid-sized organizations to find and implement training solutions that help their people grow and succeed. And it’s just exciting to be a part of a start-up. NeonTrain is poised to do great things.”
“I would like to endorse NeonTrain and the excellent service they provide. As a new start in the Brightspace environment, NeonTrain has been responsive and extremely helpful in making sure that we are successful in our course offerings,” says Jacquie Latham, Program Coordinator – The Ontario Native Education Counselling Association (ONECA). “They have responded in a timely manner and with positive results. I would choose to work with NeonTrain every time!”
