D2L's Brightspace


WATERLOO, ON—Today, the global learning technology leader announced a partnership with WSIPC to reach and engage almost three quarters of a million learners.

WSIPC members can now choose D2L’s award-winning Brightspace learning management system (LMS) to deliver a modern learning experience that reaches, stimulates and engages every learner. The platform will be available to members at a pre-negotiated cost, allowing them to bypass the burden of a complex and time-consuming RFP.

WSIPC is a public non-profit cooperative that provides K-12 public and private schools in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska with technology solutions, services and support. Nearly 730,000 students across 280 school districts and more than 1,500 schools rely on those services.

“Schools today are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the lastest technology,” said Marty Daybell, WSIPC executive director and CEO. “Through this partnership with D2L, our member schools will gain access to its cutting-edge Brightspace platform – completely transforming the learning experience for hundreds of thousands of children.”

“K-12 learners represent our future, and we can no longer saddle them with learning tools from the past,” said John Baker, CEO of D2L. “Through this partnership with WSIPC we can deliver the modern experience learners expect, keeping them engaged, energized and eager to grow.”
