D2L Brightspace helps Purdue University expand its digital reach and
reduce faculty load as a one-stop advanced learning
platform
TORONTO, Feb. 4, 2025
/PRNewswire/ - D2L, a global learning technology company, has
helped Purdue University take
engaging and flexible online learning to the next level, by
reaching new learners, expanding course offerings, providing better
accessibility, and reducing administrative burdens on faculty.
Purdue University, one of America's
top higher education institutions and an established leader in
innovation and learning, set out to achieve that every student
receives a high-quality, personalized learning experience. Since
adopting D2L Brightspace as a one-stop centralized learning
environment at the heart of on-campus, hybrid, and digital
courses, Purdue has:
- Expanded its course offerings while maintaining excellence at
scale
- Augmented accessibility to reach even more traditional and
non-traditional learners
- Saved faculty time giving them more opportunities to work
directly with students and conduct research.
Purdue has also recently added D2L
Lumi, which puts AI and machine learning at the core of D2L
Brightspace to power intelligent workflows, and Creator+, which
makes course content more engaging and enriching to help improve
learning outcomes.
"Every course that we offer is on Brightspace and we even put
additional resources on the platform for faculty to support their
work," said Dr. Dimitrios Peroulis,
Senior Vice President for Partnerships and Online at Purdue University. "With Brightspace, we've been
able to help students on campus and online seamlessly navigate
through material, connect with their peers and reach out to
instructors to ask questions."
Purdue University wants to give
every student the opportunity to grow, develop and explore new
ideas in supportive environments, but often students with
functional diversities worry that their requests for accommodations
might be lost in the paperwork across classes. At the same time,
resources that were already digitalized were often scattered across
multiple platforms and emails. D2L Brightspace has helped
centralize and simplify processes and has enabled students,
regardless of ability, to learn at their best without feeling
singled out.
"Every instructor absolutely loves that they can go to our class
roster and set up the accessibility settings for the whole semester
for each student," said Dr. Lindsay
Hamm, Assistant Teaching Professor of Sociology. "If someone
needs extra time, the setting just automatically applies to all
their assignments. Such a subtle way to incorporate accommodations
also means their privacy and dignity is protected; no one apart
from faculty can see who is entitled to additional support."
With D2L Brightspace as its centralized platform for learning
and teaching, Purdue is on track to
provide world-class education to even more students, without
creating additional administrative work for faculty.
"D2L is proud to help Purdue
University build on its strong history as an innovation
leader, as it continues to transform even more lives through
learning," said John Baker, Founder
and CEO of D2L. "We're thrilled and inspired to work with
Purdue to create more impactful,
engaging, and rich learning experiences that expand access for all
learners, improve outcomes, and transform lives."
