Okanagan College is moving forward with a transition to a new Learning Management System (LMS) to provide a stronger experience for students along their learning journey and enhanced features for faculty members.
Beginning with the Fall 2026 semester, OC will utilize D2L Brightspace as its LMS, transitioning from the current system, Moodle.
The change will happen after the College went through a fair procurement process that began last summer, receiving expressions of interest from nine vendors. A multi-department committee featuring Teaching and Learning Innovations, faculty members and IT, evaluated the proposals and viewed demonstrations from the short-listed vendors. The committee recommended the move to D2L Brightspace due to the positive impact it will have for students, better accessibility features and the stability of the platform.
The move to the new LMS is also aligned to the Inspire Strategic Plan’s goal of improving the learner environment.
Stay tuned to OC This Week for more updates on the transition to a new LMS, including a dedicated web page with training materials and more information on D2L Brightspace.
This project will be funded partly through external funding targeted for student software and cost savings from other software changes.
