At the Desire2Learn conference in July 2014,
Desire2Learn president and CEO John Baker announced some
changes in naming and branding for Desire2Learn.
- The company name is now
D2L, and Desire2Learn will be gradually phased out.
- Brightspace will now be
used to describe the integrated learning platform, which is
inclusive of all D2L products and services.
- D2L will remain a brand
name for certain individual products and services within the
Brightspace platform.

What does this mean for you? You will not notice many changes. You will still use https://d2l.iup.edu
to access the learning environment, but if you are a member of
the Desire2Learn Community, you will want to join the new
Brightspace Community.
