Kitchener, Waterloo, Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global learning technology leader D2L announced today that Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS), a leading school system based in Annapolis, Maryland, recently celebrated their Brightspace implementation and prepared educators for the school year with the Brighter with Brightspace Conference.
AACPS is one of the 40 largest school systems in the United States. It has 128 schools and approximately 85,000 students in prekindergarten through 12th Grade. After rigorous testing by AACPS teachers throughout the winter of 2021 and districtwide professional development in the Spring semester of 2021, AACPS switched from another LMS to Brightspace to enhance, support, and grow virtual learning experiences for its students, staff, and families.
With implementation beginning this fall, AACPS recently hosted a virtual conference called “Brighter with Brightspace” for all of their staff. Attendees had the chance to review and enhance skills during sessions such as ‘Getting Started with Brightspace Spring Professional Development’ modules, helping to gain even more traction with the Brightspace learning environment. The event was kicked off with a fireside chat with D2L’s President and CEO, John Baker and Skip Lee, Director of Curriculum at AACPS.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer Brightspace this year to our staff and students to create the best learning experiences possible,” said Skip Lee, Director of Curriculum at AACPS. “This year’s conference allowed us to kick-off a new school year, setting our educators up to make successful and meaningful home-school connections.”
“AACPS was looking for a learning management system which was a resilient, flexible online learning solution and we couldn’t be happier they found that in Brightspace,” says April Oman, Senior Vice President, Customer Engagement at D2L. “We’re proud to partner with school systems like AACPS who are using online learning to create exceptional and innovative experiences for their students and staff.”
