Brightspace does not have multiple things like attendance, scheduling, timetabling, decent assessments, assessment databases, complex question types, and so forth. These all need to be improved.

D2L Brightspace consolidates multiple LMSs we've used into one.

What do you like best about the product?

Brightspace is a very powerful and adaptable eLearning platform that allows Administrators the flexibility to be innovative about the use of its tools and provide a breadth of educational experience and support that maximises Learner engagement and success. It performs extremely well across a range of educational themes and departments and with recent AI tools makes the creation of educational content and processes much more accessible to designers. With careful consideration of the user experience it is possible to create very engaging and comprehensive educational experiences

What do you dislike about the product?

It can take some time to become knowledgeable enough with all of the different tools Brightspace offers in order to make informed decisions about what might work best in certain places and for certain tasks. The range of possible roles and permissions across the platform can be overwhelming - it's best to focus on core established roles and make modifications and tweaks according to you own requirements later.

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

Brightspace enables us to provide quality, engaging training and education to a broad spectrum of learners across our environment (sport), including a large number of time-poor volunteers who appreciate being able to access the information they need at a time suitable for them. We can now provide training and educational support in a much more learner-focussed and stimulating manner than before

What do you like best about the product?

The UI design is user-friendly, and third party products are easy to integrate. Performance has been superior to our previous LMS, and the built-in quiz printer function has been a benefit to our University.

What do you dislike about the product?

In the New Content Experience, sub-modules can not be moved out to become separate modules [i.e. a sub-module must be moved underneath another existing module]. This has not been viewed favorably by our users.

Brightspace is working well as an online LMS for our University, and faculty opinion on Brightspace has been mostly favorable.

What do you like best about the product?

Every one of us in airline industry knows, that crews are often out of base or delayed by weather. Using D2L, we like that we can provide Special Access and alternate due dates. If pilot is grounded in a different city, our team can easily modify their training windows without disrupting the entire fleet's schedule.

Automated, action-based release of materials, it is the thing I value the most. This allows us to create a linear path for certifications, this means no one is operating without prerequisite training, a crew member can not see the advanced cabin safety module until they have passed the basic safety assesment.

What do you dislike about the product?

From the recent event, I can remember the error which with I contacted the support team.
When I imported a new fleet training cycle, the system caused to overwrite my carefully planned dates with the import date/time.
Until I received any instructions from support team, I had to manually fix the start and end dates for many different modules just because the software decided to reset them.

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

One of my primary responsibilities is to ensure that hundreds of crew members are qualified, safety-certified, and ready for their next rotation. Managing a training workforce that is literally moving across time zones 24/7 is a logistically complex challenge, and we’re able to handle it using D2L.

As stated in protocols, I can not schedule a crew member if they havent completed the specific technical differences training. I can't manually check who has finished their training. So, I use class progress tool, which help me track logins and system access at a glance.

Also, we employ crew members from across the globe. Safety procedures must be understood with one hundred accuracy, brightspace's auto generation of closed captions in multiple languages help us reduce the risk of a misunderstandings.

What do you like best about the product?

Overall a very stable and easy to use platform and interface, also very good support and community

What do you dislike about the product?

I wish there were more uptake of the recommended changes and upgrades to the platform. Some recommendations are really common sense and would genuinely improve the experience for both admins and users. I also find the page that lists all the unsolved cases a bit depressing and not very motivating.

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

Its creating a space for all university users that can be used to make access easier and overall help students and instructors to provide a beter learning experiance

What do you like best about the product?

It’s a one-stop shop for students and faculty to review course materials and communicate within their courses.

What do you dislike about the product?

We don't have all of the features so we don't have some of the Creator+ items that would help produce better materials.

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

I do like that they have a PIE to provide feedback and vote up issues that will be resollved. It helps build community.

What do you like best about the product?

I love many things about D2L Brightspace, but the #1 thing would have to be their communication and support. I feel always up to date with new improvements, or if the rare outage occurs.

What do you dislike about the product?

I do not have much negative criticism, but if I had to pick something, it sometimes feels like some improvements are prioritized over others. For instance, great strides have been made with Lumi, while it feels like Achievement+ is getting little attention.

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

D2L Brightspace keeps me informed with reliable communication and updates, supporting my role in managing integrations and providing first-line support.

The backend management - it's easy to create folder structures in the backend of unit sites, making it easier to organise content and maintain sites.

Often receive internal errors when working it the backend. File management isn't intuitive for new users.

Allowing me to build custom HTML elements in the editor.

Keeping the grade book complete and accurate is very positive for us as well as allowing students to see their grade in real time.
