D2Ls Brightspace for Students
Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) is currently in the process of transitioning from Blackboard Learn to D2L’s Brightspace as its Learning Management System (LMS), which is the software platform used to deliver courses. This transition will occur in three phases, and instructors will have the option to choose from three adoption windows:
Phase 1 — Early Adoption in Summer 2024
Phase 2 — Fall 2024
Phase 3 — Spring 2025
During the initial two phases of implementation, both Blackboard Learn Original and D2L’s Brightspace will be used simultaneously. Therefore, you may find yourself taking courses on one or both systems during Summer 2024 and Fall 2024. However, starting Spring 2025, all courses will be taught exclusively using D2L's Brightspace.
To prepare for this transition to D2L’s Brightspace, the Online Learning and Academic Technology team (OLAT) will continually update this page with additional information. Make sure to check back regularly and utilize the Support and Resources links provided on this page.
