Hear What Our Customers Have to Say

Considering turning your classroom into a blended learning environment? Ontario’s VLE by @d2l is the way to go. There is a robust selection of tools to help track your students progress. Many integrations such as @Pixton @ExploreLearning and so much more. Amanda Yarascavitch E-learning Teacher, Renfrew County Catholic District School Board
Parents really appreciated the hands-on approach… they appreciated that I wasn’t just doing a pen and paper assignment. Myles Sloan 9th Grade Geography Teacher
Students can’t give excuses about losing papers, they know how to access [the VLE] it’s all there Lindsay Cheal
Having our D2L technical account manager here as an on-site resource helping our team with the implementation of eCLASS and the adoption of best practices has been invaluable. We would not be nearly as far along in the implementation if he had not been at our side. Tricia Kennedy Executive Director, eCLASS Transformation, Gwinnett County Public Schools
We’d been using all these clunky LMS platforms and getting frustrated. Brightspace is the first tool we found that doesn’t put a barrier between us and our goals, so getting teachers on board and building new courses is really straightforward. Dr John VanWagoner Superintendent, Alpena Public Schools
Brightspace allows me to keep everything in one well organized space that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. All of the courses I worked so hard to build last year were uploaded with a click of a button and ready to be reviewed and used again this year. Alissa Miller Eighth Grade Math Teacher, Alpena Public Schools
Students live in a digital world and we have to meet them where they are. Our initiative is to engage kids with technology and Brightspace is the hub that makes this possible. Matt Waymack
The most significant helping point is that we had our TAM onsite. It provides us with a direct conduit to D2L and full access to exactly who we need to talk with to make things happen quickly. If an organization can swing it, I recommend it! Matt Waymack
The most important thing is that we preserve the continuity of instruction and prevent overage hours from interfering with student, teacher, and family schedules. Matt Waymack
We’re really pleased with D2L and especially our CSM [Customer Success Manager]. D2L understands K-12 and how to coordinate things in a way that supports our faculty and students. Matt Waymack

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Blended Learning?

Blended learning is an instructional model that combines both online and offline instruction.

Blended learning doesn’t mean that a course is restructured so that the majority of it is online; instead, the in-person and online elements work together to create a richer learning experience for students.

What is hybrid learning and how does it differ from blended learning?

While the terms hybrid learning and blended learning are used interchangeably, there is a slight difference between the two. Blended learning is centered on using online instruction such as videos, discussion boards and articles to complement in-person classes. Hybrid learning uses online material as an alternative to in-person material and is meant to create a flexible learning experience where students choose their learning model based on their needs.
