What do you dislike about the product?
Some tasks on Brigstspace have so many configurations that it sometimes confuses instructors who are new to the platform.
The reports on the use of the platform are pretty confusing and incomplete, making it difficult to follow up simple tasks, individual classes, or groups of course offerings.

Why I Love D2L!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the simplicity of building a new course from scratch in just minutes. It is so simple to grade assignments and leave feedback. The Activity Feed gives a social media feel to the course. We have been with D2L for over a decade.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish students could see their current running grade at any time in their courses. I also am not sure why I can't add due dates to discussions. There is not really anything else that I have any issues with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to keep my students feeling engaged when the pandemic hit. I can meet with them virtually and let them present virtually using Bongo. We can keep a uniform design to all of our courses, and course reset allows us to quickly reset a course and recopy it if it is ever needed.

Why d2L Brightspace is the Right Platform for you!

D2L's platform is easy to maneuver around. I find that it is straightforward to use. It offers a wide range of tools that allow for you to promote student-to-student interactions, student-to-content interactions as well as student to instructor interactions. Automation, flexibility and HTML templates provide great opportunities increating student-centered courses.

Couldn't have done online teaching during Covid without D2L Brightspace
What do you like best about the product?
D2L Brightspace is intuitive, and there are many multiple ways to add information to your homepages. I like that there are so many different functions that D2L Brightspace affords its users that the sky is the limit on what you can create. Brightspace can handle videos, add-ins, external links, discussions, paper assignments, quizzes....you name it! All grades are recorded directly to the grade book so at any time students are able to see where they are in the class. The grade book also allows you to have weights on the different assignments/categories and will do the math automatically for both the student and instructor. Another upside to using D2L is that if a student misses class, they can go to the homepage and download the materials that were covered during that class time. This helps the students out as they will not miss out on the class work and lectures. Another upside of using D2L Brightspace was that it was easy to transfer my face-to-face classes to fully online as I was already using D2L Brightspace in those classes. It just required me to upload my lectures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Recently D2L Brightspace changed the appearance of the rubric grading screen when grading assignments. While I'm not too fond of the new look, it does allow me to toggle back to the look they had before that I liked better. I would also like to see a better file system. The file system should parallel that of a computer. Once individually uploaded, you aren't easily allowed to move files into folders. The only other item I would like to see changed is to have the information update on assignments and discussions. When you do the "edit-in-place" through content on an assignment, it populate to the same restrictions as when you are editing the assignments and discussions through the assignments/discussions section themselves. For example, changing the availability dates during an edit-in-place and a deadline doesn't affect the locked date range--you have to go under the assignment/discussion for that. When you are in the assignment/discussion, if you add in the availability, locked and deadline dates, they don't show under the assignments/disscussions in the content area. I find that I have to go back and change things in 2 places.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using D2L to grade larger lecture classes. Using the rubric tool as well as the initial feedback and audio feature helps to be able to give individualized feedback to all students on their work. The individualized feedback allows for students to know what they can do to improve their grades the next time. This leads to higher amounts of student success.
