D2L, a global learning technology company, is pleased to announce that the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is switching from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace to help elevate its education offerings and provide exceptional, flexible learning experiences for both faculty and students.
Located in British Columbia, UFV is a teaching-intensive, career-focused public university serving the Fraser Valley region. After over a decade of using Blackboard LMS, UFV is making the switch to D2L Brightspace to enhance online program engagement and effectiveness, aiming to improve academic outcomes, retention rates, and overall satisfaction of students and faculty. This transition reflects UFV’s ongoing commitment to enhancing teaching and learning experiences with the latest and most effective educational technologies available.
The University of the Fraser Valley wanted a more intuitive, streamlined user experience, better features to support teaching and learning and enhanced collaboration tools. We are proud to provide innovative solutions through D2L Brightspace to help UFV achieve these goals and build world-class learning experiences.
John Baker, Founder and CEO of D2L
“D2L Brightspace provides our faculty and students with advanced educational tools and resources that will support engagement, collaboration, and evidence-based pedagogies, and ultimately lead to improved academic outcomes,” said Dr. Awneet Sivia, Associate Vice-President of Teaching and Learning at the University of the Fraser Valley.
UFV is just one of multiple higher education institutions around the world who are making the switch from Blackboard to D2L Brightspace for its superior user experience. SUNY Binghamton transitioned to D2L Brightspace to enhance usability for both students and faculty. One user at the University of Southern California (USC), said that D2L Brightspace is “easier for students to navigate” than Blackboard and “easier for course builders to build their content.” Bentley University’s commitment to innovation led it to D2L Brightspace for a modern LMS to help the university stay ahead of the curve.
