D2L Brightspace

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.

I find D2L Brightspace pretty easy to use for navigating through courses and learning at my own pace. The website is easy to use and handy enough to navigate, which I really like. The community is also very nice, and I'm excited about the Fusion 2026. The initial setup was pretty easy as well.

The customization options and reporting options, in D2L Brightspace need to be more flexible.

What do you like best about the product?

Every day, I meet with faculty who are trying to spark deeper engagement in their courses. Often, the conversation begins with a challenge — a discussion board that’s gone quiet or an activity that isn’t landing the way they hoped. As they talk, I listen for what students are struggling with and what kind of connection the instructor wants to build.

That’s usually where Brightspace enters the story. Together, we look at how tools like release conditions can create a sense of progression, or how small touches like replacement strings can make students feel seen by greeting them by name. We explore ways to give students multiple paths to show what they know, using interactive activities and flexible submission options.

These conversations remind me that engagement grows from intentional design choices — and Brightspace gives us the tools to help faculty create courses where students feel connected, supported, and motivated to participate.

What do you dislike about the product?

The Work-To-Do widget has been problematic. Students often complain that it doesn’t accurately reflect their work, which leads to frustration for both them and their instructors.

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.

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.
