Press Release
D2L, a global learning technology leader, announced that the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) has renewed its partnership with D2L to continue to transform its blended and online learning programs for 137,000 students at 13 community colleges and 39 locations across Colorado.
D2L’s Brightspace platform will also enable CCCOnline, the online consortium of the 13 CCCS colleges, to manage and share technology resources to deliver a consistently superior learning environment across all campuses.
In a head-to-head process that included faculty, students and other stakeholders across the 13 institutions, the CCCS selection committee chose to renew its long-term partnership with D2L. High marks were given to D2L’s learning management system (LMS) that offered in-class, online, responsive mobile, and hybrid-based learning options to cater to the needs and realities of individual learners in both rural and urban centers across the state.
“Given our unique organizational structure, and steadfast mission, we needed a partner that offered an innovative, single learning management system, but also provided our Colleges with some autonomy to manage their own environments. Only D2L demonstrated the ability to do that,” says Julie Ouska, Chief Information Officer/VP Information Technology for the Colorado Community College System. “Brightspace enables us to scale a central LMS across all CCCS community colleges, roll out updates and fixes regularly with little to no downtime. This ensures every student and faculty member will enjoy a seamless learning experience, which is critically important to creating a positive environment.”
The enriched features and functionality of the Brightspace platform will allow CCCS to focus on next-generation course design, pedagogy, engagement, adaptive and personalized learning.
“One of the strategic pillars for CCCS’ leaders is to ‘create education without barriers through transformational partnerships, and we’re delighted to be their chosen LMS partner,” said John Baker, CEO of D2L. “We look forward to helping CCCS pioneer more firsts and fulfill its mission to provide students with an accessible, responsive learning experience.”
