D2L Brightspace

What do you like best about the product?

I like that D2L Brightspace allows us to run an online course in a very organized way from a faculty perspective. I appreciate the many different tools such as discussions and online tests which help us avoid relying on external programs. The system is well-organized on the homepage, enhancing user experience and management capabilities.

What do you dislike about the product?

In the Gradebook, there's a scroll button that is difficult to use if you have a lot of rows and columns. Whenever I enter a pie item, they're not always accepted, but it is a tool that we can use to continue to improve the product. But it's not always accepted. So that would be something that I would like to see improvements on where our ideas are considered. Maybe more holistically. It doesn't have to be everything we've said, but maybe what's the underlying problem that we're trying to solve? Not necessarily exactly what we're saying sometimes.

Some things are still a bit rigid. For example, I can't change the background color of a course. Another point is that it's also not possible to randomize all the questions in a quiz at once.

In the questionnaire section, I remember there was a button for the student to be directed to the evaluation. I really liked the update: now the questionnaire appears in a much better way for the student, and the visualization has improved a lot.

In the creation of new courses, there was also an update, and it has become much simpler to create new courses. I found it much better than the previous version.

What do you like best about the product?

What I appreciate most about Brightspace is how well the platform lives up to its name. It creates a clean, welcoming, and visually appealing environment that feels like a true space for learning. The modern design provides an excellent foundation for showcasing an institution's brand while fostering meaningful connections between instructors and learners. I also value the variety of engagement tools available, which make it easy to create interactive learning experiences, encourage collaboration, and support different teaching and learning styles.

What do you dislike about the product?

One area that could be improved is the use of screen space when viewing Brightspace in a desktop browser. The large margins on either side of the page leave a significant amount of unused white space, reducing the available area for course content and creating unnecessary scrolling. Making better use of the full browser width—or providing an option for a wider content layout—would enhance the experience for both instructors designing courses and learners navigating course materials.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Brightspace is modernizing our professional development offerings to engage learners and elevate our brand.

What do you like best about the product?

Ease of use, uploading content made easy, and the integration of Creator+ and H5P is fantastic!

What do you dislike about the product?

Some "nice-to-have's" - ability for groups in setting collaborators in H5P activities as well as an automatic set to share option (both would be a huge timer saver); ability to nest Creator+ elements such as a callouts inside an accordion (we receive a lot of requests for things like this).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrating H5P activities and Creator+ elements allows workflow to be much smoother, eliminating working across multiple platforms to publish content.
