A Comprehensive LMS that is Best in Class!
What do you like best about the product?
The intuitive interface, navigation, design freedom that Brightspace offers appeals significantly to my instructional design mindset. It is scalable for all that we do and has been an ultimate solution for all of our learning and development courses. D2L also integrates several third-party vendors and allows us to easitly implement and use their products within the Brightspace platform. With each update, Brightspace is enhancing the LMS through customer feedback and PIE ideas in the Brightspace community. D2L works hard to continually improve its learning platform for the ever-changing world that education is today.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much that I dislike with Brightspace. As with anything, there are always some things that I wish were better. Major project updates sometimes get pushed back to allow for improvements to development but delay initiatives that our college is working on and can be frustrating. Overall, I appreciate D2L's offering of the PIE area of the community and have seen many customer suggested improvement items being completed faster in the past two years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brightspace was a life-saver for our campus during COVID, and we were able to increase faculty adoption with those that had been previously opposed to using the LMS for their on-ground courses because of its easo-of-use. Instructors have appreciated having assignments, quizzes, and exams completed online and saving them time and the ability to keep track of submissions. Third-party integrations were quickly implemented and allowed for enhanced course development and engagement during this unprecedented time. In addition, we were able to automate attendance tracking and provide reports to help advisors monitor at-risk students. Student success tools in Brightspace helped faculty and advisors keep tabs on their cohort of students to verify academic progress. Faculty were able to utilize tools such as intelligent agents and release conditions to provide feedback to students and initiate engagement. Brightspace appears to be rapidly making enhancements that have also assisted us in our design of Competency-Based Education (CBE) courses that we are adding to our catalog. D2L's research on the Future of Work and the role of education has lead to great enhancements to the LMS over the past few years.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
An extremely reliable, cutting-edge LMS, D2L Brightspace is BEST in class for UI and UX and is beneficial for all course support, whether on-ground, online or blended. It's a robust LMS that embraces accessibility, personalization, API and LTI integrations, data analytics, assessment & rubrics for an enhanced learner experience. Its mobile apps provide additional usability for instructors and students. The platform is intuitive and allowed us to improve quality through consistency and template use. Most of all, D2L has excellent customer service staff that work hard to have Brightspace work best for us.

It is an excellent LMS, it is a very practical and flexible platform to manage learning.

The learning experience for both teachers and students, its graphical interface is comfortable and eye-catching, it allows you to learn virtually efficiently. It's educational and easy to use, even for users with little tech experience.
Another positive point is the support offered by the company throughout the appropriation process, the training provided, the attention to incidents posted.
And finally, the community that they have available, where they can talk with other platform users, share experiences and propose ideas that they are willing to listen to and contemplate for implementation.

What do you dislike about the product?
Definitely what I don't like is the virtual classes platform, the Bongo application, although it is not typical of Brigthspace, it is the synchronous classes tool offered by default, but it has many limitations, its use is not very intuitive and it constantly generates conflicts in use, the good thing is that it can be easily replaced using other external tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One problem that my institution solved by using Brightspace was to replace our LMS that, for different reasons, no longer fully met existing needs. With the current situation on the planet, it is essential to have tools that allow you to manage learning in a 100% virtual way, and Brigthspace helps immensely to overcome this great challenge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I totally recommend it, because it is an excellent and easy-to-use platform. The interface is attractive, pleasant, and intuitive.
It facilitates the work of learning in virtuality, both for teachers and students and all administrators who work implementing it.
