"Brightspace has come a long way and has a lot of great features"

4/5

What do you like best about D2L Brightspace?

I love Brightspace's interface with Turnitin, especially since I teach academic writing which is an area where it's particularly hard for students to learn to write in their own words. This makes Turnitin a great tool that's easy for them to access. I also love the huge amount of control I can have over the organization, open/close dates, and other factors.

What do you dislike about D2L Brightspace?

Although Brightspace has really improved a lot, it's still a little unwieldy, especially if it's your first time setting it up. Luckily, my university offers outstanding online and in-person instruction for instructors who want to use all of Brightspace's potential, but there's really very little out there from the platform itself (like there is for Blackboard and other LMS solutions).

Recommendations to others considering D2L Brightspace:

This is an excellent LMS that's increasingly user-friendly and allows for enormous control and customization on the part of instructors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is D2L Brightspace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use this LMS for teaching an all-online Academic English class for international graduate students. The organization and online capabilities have really helped me facilitate this online class where I don't have as many opportunities to interact with students face-to-face.
