My Review on Desire2Learn

  • August 24, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I liked best about desire2learn because it is easy to use, I can access my college assignments without any hassle or struggle. I can communicate or message my teacher when I need help. Or when I have a question. I would highly recommend this to colleges and other schools districts. The pros of using this software is that the teacher can see who turned in the assingnments and who didnt do the assignments.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I disliked is how they arrange my assignment or my classes. I should be able to find my lessons without looking for a whole two minutes .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem I am solving with D2L Brightspace is that I am trying to figure out some of the links that my teacher put on desire two learn. The benefits I have realized are that I can communicate and seek help when I need it.

Highly intuitive, effective and efficient for all users.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The platform has never been down in the 6 years we've been on it. It's highly intuitive and therefore easy to use and I love working with the D2L team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - I've used other platforms and none are as effective as Brightspace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Brightspace to provide professional development to the marketing community in Canada. It's intuitive for all users (learners, admin and instructors). Our biggest benefit was contracting the D2L Creative Services team to provide best in class instructional design to our signature program, the Chartered Marketer designation program.

Highly Customizable LMS for K12, Higher Education & Corporate

  • August 14, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Our favorite feature of Brightspace is its high level of flexibility and customization. We can create virtually any type of content with relative ease and give every piece its own unique look and feel while still maintaining brand standards.
The level of support we get from D2L is also amazing; everyone at the organization is passionate about learning and goes out of their way to provide the best possible customer experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
The admin experience is outdated and needs to be simplified. It takes far too many clicks to accomplish basic tasks, such as creating new user accounts and populating user attributes. The Brightspace Community and the guided training are helpful, but disorganized - it's not always easy to find the resource you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We originally purchase Brightspace in order to modernize our customer training - we wanted to move away from live, in-person training in order to scale our customer onboarding and education programs. We've been very happy with the results so far, and have cut costs while at the same time expanded training offerings on new products.

In the coming years, we look to expand our use of Brightspace to employee onboarding, sales enablement and partner education.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a highly customizable LMS with a large number of features, Brightspace may be the solution for you. However, if you're looking for an out-of-the-box solution that doesn't require much maintenance or work, Brigthspace probably isn't the right fit for your organization.

a perfect LMS for interaction between instructors and students

  • August 10, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is that Brightspace offers a friendly and customizable interface for designing courses. It provides teachers many tools that allow them to personalize the student experience, facilitating an adaptable learning experience for each person.
Another aspect to highlight is the constant support provided by the team since from the beginning they were pending the appropriation of the platform, both by users and administrators.
It also has a community where users from various organizations share their doubts, problems, errors, and solutions they have found,
additionally there is the Product Idea Exchange, where improvement opportunities can be shared and developers take them into account for future platform updates
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The integration between presence and virtuality; Although the need to include technological tools in the development of academic activities was already a reality; the pandemic demonstrated that education must take advantage of the technological age. Some tasks on Brigstspace have so many configurations that it sometimes confuses instructors who are new to the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Brightspace has a community ready to help with any concerns or doubts you have, even sharing experiences about how they handle the platform.
They also have a PIE where suggestions are heard, and sconsidered for future updates.
