Participate in User Experience Research!

🗺️ Connect with the Product Roadmap to learn more about the changes coming to Brightspace, Wave, and Creator+ over the next 6 Months!

As part of our product development process, we consult with users (like you!) through our user experience (UX) research. In UX research, we take a systematic approach to listening to the perspectives of our users. This allows us to gain a better understanding of our users and their needs so we can create products that effectively support teaching and learning.

Some of our studies focus on better understanding your challenges and needs to help us plan for new or improved features. Other studies focus on testing workflows or systems that we’re designing or have built to help us make our platform intuitive and accessible for all users. We also run studies with users of assistive technology to identify accessibility gaps or pain points.

We maintain a database of Brightspace users that we contact periodically to invite to participate in our UX research sessions. It's a great opportunity to share your perspective on certain topics as well as feedback on new or existing areas of Brightspace. Participating in our research studies is one of the most direct ways to impact the future of D2L’s products.

Who can participate?

We're looking for people who use a Learning Management System (LMS):

Instructors, teachers, faculty, trainers
Instructional designers and online learning specialists
Students in higher education
Learning and development specialists in corporate organizations
Individual contributors and managers or people leaders
Academic administrators, principals, and advisors
LMS administrators and instructional technologists

And more!

Note: We typically conduct our UX research sessions in English. If there is another language you feel more comfortable using for our session, request that language when you sign up for a session and we will do our best to accommodate.

What does participation look like?

When you sign up to our UX Research Program Database, we’ll contact you periodically to see if you’d like to participate in a study. Each invitation has a description of the study and a link to a calendar where you can find a timeslot that will work for you or a link to a survey. Typically, in a UX research session, you will join us via Zoom for 30 – 60 minutes. We will ask you some questions about your work or learning and about the research topic, and we may ask you to try out a few tasks in a prototype and provide your feedback. We offer a gratuity for your participation as a token of our appreciation.

How do I sign up?

We ask for your contact information and a few details about your work to match you with appropriate studies.

The sign up only takes a couple of minutes to complete.
