What do you like best about the product?

Every day, I meet with faculty who are trying to spark deeper engagement in their courses. Often, the conversation begins with a challenge — a discussion board that’s gone quiet or an activity that isn’t landing the way they hoped. As they talk, I listen for what students are struggling with and what kind of connection the instructor wants to build.

That’s usually where Brightspace enters the story. Together, we look at how tools like release conditions can create a sense of progression, or how small touches like replacement strings can make students feel seen by greeting them by name. We explore ways to give students multiple paths to show what they know, using interactive activities and flexible submission options.

These conversations remind me that engagement grows from intentional design choices — and Brightspace gives us the tools to help faculty create courses where students feel connected, supported, and motivated to participate.

The Work-To-Do widget has been problematic. Students often complain that it doesn’t accurately reflect their work, which leads to frustration for both them and their instructors.

What do you dislike about the product?

It can take some time to become knowledgeable enough with all of the different tools Brightspace offers in order to make informed decisions about what might work best in certain places and for certain tasks. The range of possible roles and permissions across the platform can be overwhelming - it's best to focus on core established roles and make modifications and tweaks according to you own requirements later.

What do you like best about the product?

Every one of us in airline industry knows, that crews are often out of base or delayed by weather. Using D2L, we like that we can provide Special Access and alternate due dates. If pilot is grounded in a different city, our team can easily modify their training windows without disrupting the entire fleet's schedule.

Automated, action-based release of materials, it is the thing I value the most. This allows us to create a linear path for certifications, this means no one is operating without prerequisite training, a crew member can not see the advanced cabin safety module until they have passed the basic safety assesment.

What do you dislike about the product?

From the recent event, I can remember the error which with I contacted the support team.
When I imported a new fleet training cycle, the system caused to overwrite my carefully planned dates with the import date/time.
Until I received any instructions from support team, I had to manually fix the start and end dates for many different modules just because the software decided to reset them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of my primary responsibilities is to ensure that hundreds of crew members are qualified, safety-certified, and ready for their next rotation. Managing a training workforce that is literally moving across time zones 24/7 is a logistically complex challenge, and we’re able to handle it using D2L.

As stated in protocols, I can not schedule a crew member if they havent completed the specific technical differences training. I can't manually check who has finished their training. So, I use class progress tool, which help me track logins and system access at a glance.

Also, we employ crew members from across the globe. Safety procedures must be understood with one hundred accuracy, brightspace's auto generation of closed captions in multiple languages help us reduce the risk of a misunderstandings.
