D2L Brightspace revamps community platform

Edtech company D2L launched a redesigned community platform for its Brightspace learning management system on Wednesday.

The update includes new discussion pages and groups, as well as new documentation tailored to specific users.

“The Brightspace Community is a key component of D2L’s mission to provide educators with technology, service and support,” Al Patel, senior vice president of professional services and support at D2L, said in a press release. “We’re excited to provide an enhanced experience for our Brightspace Community members that aligns with our vision to provide resources, strengthen networking opportunities and promote a community of learning.”

Users are now required to register for a single sign-on account to log in to the new community forums, groups and documentation, as well as to access the Brightspace Learning Center and Product Idea Exchange. The new community platform will continue to be updated with new features throughout 2023.

Brightspace’s legacy help site will be decommissioned on June 19.
