D2L Brightspace has helped our digitalization of educational processes
What do you like best about the product?
D2L Brightspace has been a powerful tool that has helped modernize the Anáhuac University Querétaro, with constant updates that improve the experience of our users. Updates are constantly applied to help teachers and students have a simpler and more organic use, to digitize and automate processes.
At Anáhuac University Querétaro, we have promoted the constant use of the platform to upload content, develop activities, use the grade center, take attendance, and have records of progress and competency fulfillment of our students. All of this helps us have the necessary evidence for different accreditation processes, internal quality control, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Although it is not something inherent to the platform, I believe there is a need for more in-person meetings for LATAM where we can share experiences and meet providers that have integrations with D2L Brightspace.
Regarding the use of licenses, I would like a monthly usage report by type of licensing to be provided, as sometimes there is little visibility and the costs can become very high.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am pleased that generative AI is being integrated into various processes and tools, as I believe it can be very beneficial for teachers to reduce the time spent on content creation, questions, rubrics, etc.
Although we do not currently have the full acquisition of this version, the implementation of Creator+ (from the demo offered by D2L) seems very interesting to me, as all the interactive work tools are within the platform, are easy to configure, and are quite fun and useful, even for university students. However, something that concerns me is the potential technical failures when a course is exported, for example from one instance to another; considering that one was created with Creator+ and the other did not have it contracted.

Brightspace shines for designer flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
As a course designer, the flexibility is my favorite part of Brightspace. The D2L community pages have so many great templates and shared resources. I love the options to add tabs and accordians to pages as well as consistent page headers and footers. The checklists are another favorite feature. I have wished for all of these options when using another LMS. As a newbie, I really appreciated the Brightspace guided courses which got me pretty thoroughly acquianted with the platform quickly. There are still advanced features that I haven't mastered yet, but I am having fun learning because most of Brightspace is easy and intuitive to navigate.
What do you dislike about the product?
The area in which I'm hoping to see some additional features added is the reporting. I miss some of easy to generate and customize reports that I have used in another LMS.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work in online education. We use Brightspace for all of our courses. It provides security, seamless content delivery, and community for our online students.
D2L Experience SAE Mexico

The platform's user-friendly interface and robust set of tools have made it easier for both instructors and students to engage in the learning process.

What do you dislike about the product?
While D2L has many strong points, there are some areas where it could improve to better serve the needs of SAE Mexico and our students. One significant challenge we've encountered is the limited storage space for assignment submissions, which has been a particular issue since our students often need to upload large files, such as multimedia projects and design portfolios. This limitation has occasionally caused delays and frustrations. However, we are actively working with D2L support to resolve this issue and explore solutions that will better accommodate our students' needs.

Being an LMS, the content of the platform is generated separately, as it does not come with preloaded courses. However, it has tools within it that facilitate the uploading and creation of courses.

We have a geographical dispersion in LATAM, which makes it easier to reach any place on time and in the right manner, and due to the volume of personnel we have, it allows for both collective and individual management of employees. It also enables faster reporting.
