D2L and Zoom are teaming up to offer a comprehensive education experience. D2L will now sell Zoom alongside the Brightspace learning platform, seamlessly supporting online and blended learning with live face-to-face video in North America.
Brightspace is trusted by millions of users, through schools, academic institutions, professional associations and corporations around the world. By teaming up with Zoom, the Brightspace platform now offers an even more personalized education experience with live HD video and audio.
Educators can keep students engaged with innovative Zoom features over live video, such as whiteboarding, polling students, breakout rooms, and sharing important files like homework. With integration based on the LTI 1.3 open standard, leaders can plan for snow days, emergency remote instruction, or fully online programs. Also, learners can now move seamlessly between asynchronous learning activities in Brightspace and synchronous activities over Zoom, with up to hundreds of participants per session.
“In what’s been an incredibly challenging year for educators and students, D2L is providing an essential service for online and blended learning,” says Laura Padilla, Head of Global Business Development and Channel for Zoom.
“Through D2L’s reseller partnership, users will now have access to both platforms right out of the gate, which is a win for everyone.”
