Brightspace (D2L)

I'm very happy with D2L. The only minor issue is that it doesn't integrate with all of my assignments from outside sources, so I sometimes have to manually enter grades.

Decent learning management suite

It's not intuitive at all. I don't know whether there's no way to edit all grades for an individual student, or there is a way and I just can't find it.

I use Brightspace's D2L learning management system. I currently am in charge of one course section through D2L. It's helpful to have a way to disseminate material and upload grades electronically.
All At My Fingertips
What do you like best about the product?
Bright space has been a huge help with the transition back into higher education. What isn’t covered or available during lectures and classes is available to me any time, on any device, as long as there’s an internet connection. User friendly, streamlined, accessible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tabs, at times, seem irrelevant. Most material can be categorized between two, maybe three types, rendering excessive tabs and links redundant.

Brightspace is great for education
What do you like best about the product?
Brightspace keeps everything organized for all classes, assignments, and textbooks. It keeps everything in one spot and allows for easy access to all resources
What do you dislike about the product?
My least favorite thing is the log out period. I go to type some notes and when I come back I have to log in all over again. The only other problem I have ever had is sometimes the website says I do not have access to the textbooks and I have to contact the textbook company who says to contact brightspace who says to contact the textbook company. I am not sure who's end the problem is on but that is frustrating when you need access to information
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brightspace is a great organization tool and is a great method of contact as I can receive info through brightspace and also have it redirected to my email.

Easy platform for building online classes & department organizing
What do you like best about the product?
It's relatively easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. The dashboard allows me to see all of my classes, as well as my department's section. Easy to upload documents and organize them.
What do you dislike about the product?
D2L helps professors and students communicate with each other within the software, but it does not allow direct communication between the software and Outlook, which creates miscommunication and confusion among students and faculty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to offer 100% online classes that are easily accessible for everyone.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Allow the messaging system to talk directly with outside email. For example, allow Outlook Mail to receive full messages and respond to D2L messages. Or create a link in the alert email that users can click to go directly into D2L to respond to messages. This will eliminate failed responses and increase response rates between students and faculty.
