Global learning technology company D2L announced today that, in
January 2022, Pittsburgh Technical College (PTC) selected D2L
Brightspace to help grow workforce development initiatives and
drive student success.
PTC offers more than 30 associate, bachelor’s, and certificate
programs in information systems and technology, nursing,
healthcare, culinary arts, trades and more. Providing an education
that prepares more than 1,500 students for real-world career
success, PTC first successfully transferred its instructional
methods to the online environment in 2010.
“The global pandemic not only propelled us into a new age of
virtual learning, but it also revealed an opportunity to engage
more students locally, nationally and even internationally,” said
Jessica Kos, Instructional Technology Specialist at Pittsburgh
Technical College. “As we continue to strive toward expanding
access to a greater number of students, our extensive, four-month
evaluation led us to select D2L Brightspace based on D2L’s
innovative platform and the company’s responsiveness, transparency,
and commitment to our vision. For us, D2L is more than just a
vendor, they are a partner in our success.”
PTC carefully selected D2L Brightspace to help support its
mission to provide its diverse student body with a career-ready
education that supports personal and professional growth while
meeting the ever-evolving needs of business and industry. When
making this selection, D2L Brightspace stood apart from other
learning technology platform contenders with:
- An intuitive and user-friendly experience;
- White-glove customer service and open communication;
- Enhanced data and reporting capabilities;
- Highly accessible to help reach all learners.
“We share Pittsburgh Technical College’s mission of lifelong
learning, and we are honored to partner together to help drive
future innovation in more than 30 programs of study,” said Tom
Donnelly, Chief Corporate Development Officer at D2L. “PTC is
instrumental in helping to build a well‐educated and skilled
workforce that is better prepared to meet the current and projected
demands of a global, knowledge‐based 21st-century economy, and D2L
Brightspace will help provide students with access to content that
can help them thrive.”
