DEVRY UNIVERSITY SELECTS D2L BRIGHTSPACE TO LAUNCH NEXT-GEN COMPETENCY-BASED DIGITAL LEARNING

DeVry University has selected D2L Inc.'s D2L Brightspace to support its new competency-based education model, providing a more flexible, personalized learning experience.

Technology and innovation have shaped DeVry University's academic identity for 95 years.

Building on this legacy, DeVry's use of D2L's platform will advance a modern CBE learning environment featuring adaptive pathways, personalized experiences and data-driven insights to support student success.

"The learner mindset is changing, and they increasingly expect an education that builds on their prior knowledge, provides flexibility around work and life, and delivers meaningful outcomes," said Jason Horne, chief strategy and transformation officer at DeVry University. "Our partnership with D2L advances DeVry-Keller fast track by combining our academic rigour with a modern AI platform designed to support high-quality instruction and personalized learning."

DeVry's CBE model is anticipated to be available for learners on D2L Brightspace in November, 2026, leveraging the following solutions to deliver more engaging and flexible on-line learning experiences:

• D2L Brightspace: an award-winning learning platform, designed to help educators create interactive content, deliver more personalized learning and monitor learner progress;
