Modernizing D2L Brightspace to deliver a better experience

Brightspace Next Initiative

Student Focused, Faculty Driven

Creating a meaningful learning experience — one where inspiration and engagement thrive — is not just about using technology in the classroom. It’s about integrating technology into an existing teaching practice in a mutually beneficial way. The team at the University Center for Assessment, Teaching and Technology (UCATT) helps instructors transform ideas into effective teaching strategies that optimize learning for all students.
