Aarhus University, with over 38,000 students, wanted to improve both physical and digital learning environments. Their previous Learning Management System (LMS) was inadequate for supporting effective communication and feedback between instructors and students.

The university chose D2L Brightspace as their new LMS because of its user-friendliness and automation. Brightspace allowed for a seamless migration and automation of actions for students, which improved the learning experience. The result was a successful transition to Brightspace, enabling innovative digital learning experiences and improved student engagement.

The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) implemented Brightspace as its learning platform, DTU Learn. To ensure effective administration and support for the platform, DTU established a governance structure in 2021. DTU needed to define processes and support structures to ensure that DTU Learn could meet its learning objectives. This included establishing procedures for daily operations, contact persons, and support.

DTU developed a comprehensive document describing the use of DTU Learn, including purpose, success criteria, organizational overview, change procedures, and roles. This document was prepared in collaboration with HR, IT, student advisors, and D2L. The governance structure for DTU Learn provides clear guidance and improves the efficiency of daily tasks. It also ensures continuity when onboarding new team members and makes it easier to identify contact persons. The structure is reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to reflect organizational changes.

“Before choosing Brightspace, we used Moodle as our LMS. As an open source solution, there were several reasons why Moodle was not sustainable for us” – Mark Schneider, Director of Learning Technology, NAIT. In 2023, NAIT chose D2L Brightspace to replace Moodle as their new learning management system (LMS). In this four-part series, you’ll learn everything from considerations for switching to implementation and subsequent reflection:

• In the first part, Mark talks about his initial hesitation about the migration, the Brightspace features he’s most excited about, and what it’s been like working with D2L.
• In the second part, Mark delves into the migration process and talks about what it was like to move content from one learning management system to another.
• In the third part, Mark talks about the comprehensive training plan that was implemented to ensure a smooth transition for faculty, staff, and students.
• In the fourth and final part, Mark reflects on the entire migration process and shares his experiences and advice for those who want to make a similar change.
