Kaplan UK and D2L join forces to deliver best-in-class experience for learners

D2L, a global learning technology leader, and Kaplan UK, the UK’s leading provider of professional education to the accountancy, legal and financial services sector, have deployed D2L’s Brightspace Learning Management System (LMS) to provide Kaplan’s learners with greater flexibility for self-paced, personalised learning.

Headquartered in London, Kaplan UK provides classroom, blended, online instructor-led and fully online courses that prepare learners to sit professional exams with external bodies, including ACCA, ICAEW, AAT and CIMA. Designed for modern digital learners, the D2L platform curates and enables personalised learning experiences, facilitates video feedback and social assessments, and provides content creation tools that make it easy to capture knowledge and transfer expertise for improved learner engagement and knowledge retention.

“As a company, we are constantly monitoring emerging trends and taking steps to ensure that our customers are utilising the most up-to-date, innovative technologies and D2L does the same,” said Zoe Robinson, programme director, Kaplan UK. “Student expectations are constantly increasing. They want to learn when they want, where they want and how they want and we regularly review our service to meet, and often exceed, these expectations, offering resources to help students achieve their absolute best. As a partner, D2L fully understands our requirements in the broader context of our business ethos.

“Brightspace has been configured to meet our unique needs, and is flexible and sophisticated enough to manage even the most complicated training courses with ease. Customer satisfaction is our primary goal, and delivering the best possible learning experience is a critical part of that. It is clear that D2L shares our vision for the future of learning, so it’s exciting to work with a partner that will help us stay at the forefront of innovation and continue to offer truly world-class learning solutions.”

“We have built a great partnership with Kaplan UK, as our companies both strive for uncompromised excellence in learning and together we are doing great things,” said Elliot Gowans, VP EMEA, D2L. “As a leader in its field, it was important for the company to continue offering the most comprehensive and sophisticated online learning experience to its students. By configuring the platform to Kaplan’s specific needs, Brightspace ticked all the boxes.”
