Brightspace, previously Desire2Learn (D2L), is a software platform that the e-Learning Ontario (a branch of the Ministry of Education) provides for all teachers and students at publicly funded schools in Ontario.

TDSB e-Learning courses and Blended Learning classrooms use Brightspace to deliver interactive online classrooms where teachers and students communicate and collaborate using a variety of digital tools: discussions, news, calendar, dropboxes, grades, quizzes, surveys, and more.

TDSB teachers can find out more about blended learning professional development opportunities on our AW site.
