Southeastern University is pleased to announce the renewal of our partnership with D2L Brightspace as our Learning Management System (LMS) provider. This decision follows a comprehensive evaluation process that included extensive feedback from our campus community.
Why Brightspace Remains Our Top Choice: Same Platform, Enhanced Experience
After a thorough assessment comparing D2L Brightspace with other digital learning platforms, Brightspace emerged as the top-performing platform based on our specific institutional needs. The decision to continue with Brightspace reflects our commitment to providing the best possible digital learning environment for our students and faculty.
Survey data collected from across our university community strongly supports this decision, with a significant majority of students and faculty expressing satisfaction with their Brightspace experience.
Enhancing Our Digital Learning Environment
As part of this renewed partnership, Southeastern University will implement Brightspace’s latest innovations to create more engaging and streamlined learning experiences:
- New Content Experience (Lessons)
We’ll be implementing Brightspace’s Lessons feature, which offers a clean, minimalist design for both educators setting up courses and students navigating materials. This streamlined interface allows learners to navigate their learning resources without leaving the main course content page, creating a more intuitive and efficient learning journey. - Creator+ Tool Integration
Our faculty will be empowered with Creator+, Brightspace’s new interactive content authoring tool. This will enable instructors to develop engaging, interactive learning elements including simulations, branching scenarios, and adaptive learning pathways — all directly within the Brightspace environment. - Lumi Pro AI Implementation
SEU will be integrating D2L’s Lumi Pro AI tool to revolutionize content and assessment creation. This powerful AI assistant will help faculty rapidly develop high-quality course materials, generate diverse assessment questions, and provide personalized learning pathways — significantly reducing preparation time while enhancing educational quality.
Key Benefits for Our Community
The renewed partnership ensures Southeastern University continues to benefit from:
- Accessibility and User Experience
Brightspace provides an intuitive, customizable interface with offline access capabilities and strong accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA), supporting diverse learning needs. - Support for Innovative Learning
The platform uniquely supports Competency-Based Education with mastery tracking and adaptive learning pathways, while offering advanced analytics that help faculty monitor student performance and intervene proactively. - Technical Reliability
With industry-leading uptime, strong performance across various devices, and robust security compliance, Brightspace ensures reliable and secure access to learning materials.
Moving Forward
To maximize the benefits of our continued partnership, SEU’s Digital Learning team will be conducting specialized internal training sessions on the Lumi Pro AI tool, new content experience, and Creator+ functionality. The team will also offer workshops throughout the semester to help faculty leverage these powerful tools to transform their digital teaching practices.
“This renewal reflects our dedication to providing a consistent, feature-rich learning environment that meets the diverse needs of our campus community,” said Justin Rose, Associate Vice President for Information Management and Digital Learning at SEU. “By integrating Brightspace’s new content experience, Creator+ tools, and especially the Lumi Pro AI technology, we’re not just maintaining our LMS, we’re transforming how we create and deliver educational content. These tools will enable our faculty to focus more time on meaningful student interactions while delivering consistently high-quality learning materials.”
We look forward to continuing our digital learning journey with D2L Brightspace and appreciate the ongoing feedback from our students, faculty, and staff that helps guide our educational technology decisions.
