Happy Pi Day on March 14th! 🥧 We're celebrating with a little PIE of our own.
D2L's Product Idea Exchange (PIE) is where our customers' voices become reality. You share ideas, we listen. Together, we make Brightspace better, one submission at a time.
Over the years, the D2L team has read every submission, brought ideas to our roadmap, and rolled up our sleeves to build solutions inspired by the people who use Brightspace every day. Not everything happens overnight, but every idea matters!
Thank you to everyone who’s shared an idea, cast a vote, or simply trusted us with their feedback.
If you're new to the thread, and want to learn more about PIE, this is your guide to get involved:
Hope everyone celebrates the day with a slice of PIE!
