D2L is an industry leader and their LMS platform Brightspace is the ideal solution for our learning community. This migration will affect VMUG license program members, the VMware IT Academy members, and the VMware Academic Software License members. In this thread we will be engaging with the members of these programs on the various questions, comments or remarks that they might have. Ask away!
