More than 1,000 organizations in over 40 countries around the world rely on D2L to help them transform learning.
Adapting to meet student needs
In the increasingly competitive job market, employers are placing a greater emphasis on education. Students from less-fortunate backgrounds often lack access to the courses that will help them gain marketable skills—but Temple College aims to provide equal opportunities to anyone who is willing to learn. With D2L’s Brightspace platform, the college has been able to double enrollment within four years by developing engaging, accessible and user-friendly online learning resources.
Empowering Teachers to Excel
K-12 teachers dedicate their lives to their students— but balancing that commitment with family life and other responsibilities can leave little time for professional development. By working with D2L to build a flexible online learning platform, the Professional Development Institute is helping teachers fit learning into their busy lives and lift classroom standards around the world.
Building a Partnership to Drive Digital Evolution
To enhance its digital learning experience, Algonquin College wanted to simplify its complex infrastructure and replace six learning management systems with just one: D2L’s Brightspace platform. With the help of D2L and its community, the college successfully migrated over 35,000 course sites, trained 1,500 faculty members, and built a flourishing student ambassador program for the new platform within just six months.
A digital book club and other unique ways that HWCDSB uses Ontario's VLE
Ontario’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a dynamic learning platform powered by D2L’s Brightspace. The VLE is provided by the Ministry of Education at no cost to Ontario publicly funded school boards. Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB) is the Catholic school board for Hamilton, Ontario, serving students in 48 elementary schools, seven secondary schools, and one adult and continuing education program. "I believe that the VLE is a rich resource of digital tools for all educators and students in Ontario. The VLE has radically transformed over the past few years and continues to become both a more user-friendly and mobile-friendly platform. It always keeps safety and security at its core and continues to make great strides in all areas." —Michael Noronha, TELT Contact, HWCDSB
Bringing students and teachers together with engaging distance learning
When British Columbia introduced a new curriculum, SIDES faced a major challenge: nearly all its courses needed to be revised, and some of its older paper-based materials needed to be rewritten for online delivery. SIDES used the Brightspace platform from D2L to create a new set of flexible and engaging courses fast, enabling teachers to provide the right level of content to meet each student’s needs.
Transforming the Way Students Access Education and Careers in Technology
Providing students with more opportunities to learn, to further their education into post-secondary, and to connect with their courses in a more meaningful way is of major importance to the SNP STEAM Academy. Created as an extension of Six Nations Polytechnic, the STEAM Academy provides a secondary-school education in a culturally diverse community, with a strong focus on connecting students to careers in the technology industry. Students can attend this program entirely for free. Using a blended learning approach, students can earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma and earn college credits towards their college diploma within a 5-year period. And this is what makes them unique.
