Practical and Progressive LMS
What do you like best about the product?
Brightspace is user friendly in a special way -- it innovates while staying backward compatible for a reasonable length of time. The interface is open and there's decent context sensible help. Good community for getting help and giving input. I work with it daily both as an instructor and developer and both naitively and with integrated Articulate content. I've worked with many LMS products, in multiple capacities, since 1990s and like Brightspace best. My roles include course developer, instructor, course management coordinator and LMS migration role as functional project manager for SFU's move from WebCT to Canvas. NOTE: the review form doesn't allow for NA or "don't know" in the feature ranking section. So my rankings for some of those categories are 80% guess. Frustrating one can't pass on the things one isn't well versed in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Administration documentation can be hard to find. The community is helpful but searchable docs that understand synonyms or situations / goals would be welcome. Data hub progress is appreciated. Always something one wants that isn't easy to get out of existng choices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our unit at UNBC hosts self-paced courses using rapid development software for content as well as shells for supporting academic courses using native Brightspace tools. Integration with commercial payment software is a big plus for the continuing studies courses but we can also integrate with student and employee accounts for the organization. Brightspace is flexible and quick to develop in. Decent set of tools without getting bogged down in too many complications. Steady march of new features and fixes.

D2L Brightspace offers an outstanding user experience tailored to meet the needs of diverse educational environments. The platform's intuitive interface ensures seamless navigation, making it user-friendly for both instructors and students. Brightspace's impressive range of customizable options allows educators to adapt course content and layout, creating a unique learning experience that aligns with individual teaching styles.

Brightspace's focus on adaptability and innovation supports effective learning outcomes, making it an essential tool for educational institutions seeking an efficient, comprehensive LMS.
What do you dislike about the product?
D2L Brightspace, while robust, can present a learning curve for new users due to its extensive features. Initial setup and customization may feel time-consuming, and occasional navigation inconsistencies can be challenging. Some advanced functionalities may require additional training to maximize their potential, which could be daunting for less tech-savvy users.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
D2L Brightspace streamlines our course delivery by centralizing content management and facilitating interactive learning. We find it improves student engagement and elevates the educational experience for both instructors and learners.
Awesome Design Features & Very User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I love the options D2L Brightspace provides so that we have the ability to set-up / design the courses with right "feel" and vibe. Students tell me time & time again how they LOVE D2L courses - especially compared to the other platforms they have been exposed to. They look-forward to daily log-ins and new information being posted.
D2L Brightspace incorporates seamlessly with the Interactive Onine Material that students access. This updates the gradebook automatically when students complete work - so it's a WIN / WIN for students AND the Teacher! I love that I can see how often students are logged into which parts of class and for how long, as well!
Students LOVE the reminders that can be sent from the Pulse App and they appreciate the look and feel of the content. They constantly comment about the ease of use and implementation. I can't recommend D2L Brightspace highly enough!

Some options only come with the higher-level paid accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
D2L Brightspace is always improving - I greatly enjoyed the D2L Conference in Toronto this past summer - it's always fun hearing about their development and improvements!
D2L Brightspace was the right choice for us!
What do you like best about the product?
After COVID-19, our small college knew that we needed a new LMS to help us move forward in the higher educational landscape. We looked at several options, but D2L Brightspace was our choice. Every individual we encountered during our search period was friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. They listened to our concerns and our needs, and helped us choose the perfect product for our college. The LAM program has been a great asset to our college, and our LAM has helped us with implementation of several external tools throughout the years. We use our LMS with integrated tools every single day, and the product is easy to use for both faculty and students. I cannot say enough great things about D2L Brightspace! It was definitely the best choice for us!
What do you dislike about the product?
In four years I have yet to find anything I dislike about Brightspace!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed an easy to use LMS that would support integration of several external tools that we use to enhance our student's learning. D2L has done that for us!
Great product no matter what size of your organization
What do you like best about the product?
I love the the intuitive ease of use from both the student and instructor side of the product. Navigating is easy and there are a lot of features to utilize, along with integrations. Additionally, there is a very strong support community on the "back of house" side of things, along with additional training that is incredibly engaging.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a formal training for instructional designers. The certificate they have seems like it would benefit a teacher building/supporting their course but I'd love to have an option for designers and backend admin. It would be great to be a Brightspace Certified ID as an option in the future.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't really see any "problems" but Brightspace is consistently working to make additions and upgrades to stay best in class. They offer a big community to share with a large knowledge bank respository, as well. I benefit because I want to stay current with trends and how to maximize use at our organization.
Why I would suggest D2L
What do you like best about the product?
I love everything! I use it everyday for college, it's not a very hard website to get around, everything is right there in front of you! Especially making finding grades, links not just on your laptop or desktop but on your phone as well!
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the only thing I dislike is that there isn't anywhere to help you find stuff if you don't know the app as well as someone who uses it well would.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
From moving to D2L from google classroom it's benefits me so much better, being able to take tests inside the website, PowerPoints, easy to get files, and it's compatible with not only google laptops but Mac's as well
