KITCHENER-WATERLOO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) - Highlighting the growing demand for its solutions in the K-12 market, Desire2Learn (D2L), the EdTech company that created the world's first truly integrated learning platform (ILP), today announced five new K-12 customers. Tasked with creating learning environments that help teachers personalize the learning experience for every student to improve outcomes, more and more K-12 schools are implementing the Desire2Learn ILP as the foundation of their learning environments.
The D2L platform enables K-12 schools to embrace emerging technologies and deliver new learning experiences that transform the textbook, paper and pencil practices of the past into a student-centric approach that incorporate social, interactive, and personalized opportunities to learn. D2L provides teachers with the tools to better assess student performance, driving better curriculum decisions and student outcomes.
The traditional approach to the K-12 education market is rapidly shifting. Educators are faced with challenging needs of a wide range of students while at the same time having to meet the demands of increasing scores on standardized tests. Technology has emerged as the pathway to empower teachers to teach each student on a one-to-one basis, achieving the long standing goal of individual student attention," said John Baker, President and CEO, D2L. "Personalization also makes it much easier for educators to measure and map outcome achievement to specific government standards - ensuring each student can stay on track. We're proud to work with each of these schools to provide the students, teachers and districts with a personalized learning environment that improves education for all."
