    Higher Education

A Comprehensive and Effective LMS

  • April 28, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
D2L makes it possible to mirror a classroom environment virtually. The allowable modifications also permit its use for other areas such as learning communities and training programs. The controls are intuitive and allow for both beginner and advanced users to modify pages and structures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, D2L does require some downtime for server updates and on occasion we have had to reach out to the home office for an issue we were unable to resolve. Fixes were always made quickly and impacts minimized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We realize the need to fully utilize more features of our LMS by using D2L. The opportunities for blended learning that have come out of some of the features are being incorporated across the board at my institution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do inquire as to how this system functions with others, such as an early alert or analytics dashboard.

Easy to use and manage

  • April 28, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I am not the most technologically savvy person around and D2L is easy for me to navigate and use for my purposes. I know that I do not use it to its full potential, but I am highly satisfied with the aspects of it that I do use.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times the software is clunky and freezes up. I have had complaints from my students that the dropbox or email malfunction on occasion, but we do not use it frequently enough for it to be a major problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
D2L makes it easy to communicate with my students when we are away from class. This is the first kind of technology I have adapted in to my classroom and I was surprised at their response in being able to submit homework and have discussions online.

What do you like best about the product?
The checklists. They are great for helping students know what is due. I also really like the rubric tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The rubric tools could use to modification. I cannot use it when I have a rubric with many criteria and no levels. I also don't like that I cannot upload an external document to the checklist.

Lots of ways to communicate with students. Full of options yet relatively easy to add HTML content.

A few bugs in the areas of inserting or embedding content. It has so many features that there's no way you could know how to use all of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online course delivery system.

Strong medium for taking online classes.

  • April 27, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the headline feed that reminds me of upcoming due dates and quiz/exam deadlines.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't feel that I need photos along with the profile names.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being in the business of being a student, I find that D2L is a great resource for taking online classes which allows for a more flexible schedule. For the last 2 years I have taken at least one online course without any errors or faults that were not "user" induced.

D2L review

  • April 27, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The grade book/mange grade. It helps both instructor and student/user to keep a tab on grades
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. I am pretty happy using D2L for my classes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach college level Biology and I really like D2L. D2L has several benefits - it helps me role over class material from one term to another; it's great for uploading grades and both teacher and student can keep a tab on the final score; dropbox facility is also great.
Please note that to me 'company size' is 'class size'. I didn't see any options for college instructors to choose in this survey.

What do you like best about the product?
It just seems to work better and nicer than Blackboard and Moodle!
What do you dislike about the product?
Finding where to go isn't always as intuitive as I would like it to be. Tabs don't always show up and I use them for navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online and hybrid LMS at community college.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Clean interface with ability to standardize experience.


    Education Management

It is quite helpful.

  • April 26, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best experience I had with D2L was in one of my STATS classes. We could check our course progress, grades, homework, helpful tips and feedback, and even practice quizzes all in one place. We had class in the campus, but D2L was incredibly helpful for homework and studying.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was annoying to lose important information at the end of the term. I couldn't find a practical and effective way to save data and information for further access (future reference) after the term was over.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have certainly realized the benefits of having complementary resources for homework and material heavy courses.

It is easy to navigate and if I need help I feel comfortable enough to use the on line help that is offered on the web site.

I still like the person to person contact that is in a class room setting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Right now I am coordinating a group project in order to present our ideas in an educational setting.
