“The impact that Brightspace has probably most had is peace of mind for everybody, all parts equal across the organization. Peace of mind for students knowing that the experience that they’re getting is top-notch and consistent across all their courses.

Peace of mind for administrators to know that they’re not having to build anything, to check code before upgrade. Peace of mind for leaders of the organization to know that the product is going to allow us to continue to grow and that it’s a product that is world-leading.”

A Proven Path from Moodle to Brightspace

Migrate with Confidence

For D2L, transitioning from Moodle to Brightspace is seamless, secure, and supported every step of the way. D2L’s migration specialists have helped hundreds of institutions transition smoothly, so that courses, users, and data arrive intact.

“We completed a VLE unification project where we migrated 9,000 students, 650 staff and two and a half thousand Moodle courses to our Brightspace instance, so we now have a single VLE for TU Dublin and the level of support from D2L made all the difference in our transition.”

Build More, Maintain Less

Empower Your Developers

Developers managing open-source VLEs are often burdened with maintenance and firefighting. Brightspace liberates them to focus more on innovation and impact. Brightspace doesn’t replace that. It amplifies their impact.

“I worked in a very highly developed version of Moodle, and it was quite obvious that certain files had been put together in a certain way. The big difference with Brightspace is that it doesn’t look like or feel like a traditional VLE. It’s intuitive, visually appealing, and just easier for students.”

Focus on Learning, Not Workarounds

Brightspace is built for modern pedagogy and AI-enhanced learning. While Moodle may rely on plugins and workarounds to achieve certain functionalities, Brightspace is designed to deliver seamless, intuitive, and adaptive learning experiences out of the box.
