Michigan State University named D2L Brightspace as its centrally supported Learning Management System in July 2012. D2L Brightspace provides the platform and tools for online and web enhanced courses at MSU. D2L Brightspace tools allow access to course materials, collaboration, submission of assignments, online testing, grades, and other resources from a single interface. D2L Brightspace is available to all MSU students and faculty at https://d2l.msu.edu.

This section documents MSU's specific implementation of D2L Brightspace. You can also read vendor documentation about these topics, but here we note the unique ways it works at MSU.

Brightspace is supported on the desktop platforms, tablets and mobile devices with the latest browser versions.
