Introducing the LearnWise + D2L Partnership: Smarter AI Support, Learning, and Feedback for 2025 and Beyond

In a bold step toward redefining student experience in higher education, LearnWise and D2L have announced a strategic partnership that brings advanced, embedded AI directly into Brightspace. The collaboration transforms Lumi by D2L into a true AI-powered learning assistant, capable of supporting students, faculty, and institutions from within their courses, in real-time.

This partnership addresses a central challenge in higher education: how to provide personalized, 24/7, contextual support to every learner without overwhelming staff or creating siloed tools. By combining D2L’s intuitive LMS platform with LearnWise’s AI infrastructure, institutions now have access to a solution that scales ethically, securely, and seamlessly across the entire student journey.

Closing the Gaps in Student Support

From fragmented help channels to delayed feedback, many institutions are struggling to meet the expectations of digitally native students. The LearnWise + D2L Brightspace partnership addresses this with three purpose-built capabilities:

1. Lumi Chat: Context-Aware Student Support

D2L's current Lumi Chat will be completely renewed with the LearnWise technology to provide 24/7 conversational assistance inside Brightspace. Unlike generic chatbots, it draws on real course materials, institutional policies, deadlines, and student data to deliver:

• Real-time answers to questions like “When is my next assignment due?”
• Natural-language help based on the course syllabus, resources, and video content
• Multilingual support (107+ languages) for equity and accessibility

2. Lumi Tutor: Personalized Learning Pathways

With Lumi Tutor, students aren’t just supported, they’re coached this tool allows learners to:

• Receive academic assistance and generate flashcards, quizzes, and role-play simulations based on actual course content
• Follow personalized, schedule-aligned study plans
• Engage with adaptive learning materials from inside Brightspace, without leaving the LMS

3. Lumi Feedback: Instructor-Led AI Grading Assistance

Faculty often spend hours delivering feedback. Lumi Feedback helps scale personalized feedback by:

• Turning instructor annotations into full, rubric-aligned comments
• Preserving tone and academic voice, while improving consistency and speed
• Reducing grading workload while maintaining academic integrity
