Case Study: Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning achieves a transformed, scalable learner experience with D2L Brightspace

Creating custom learning experiences at scale

Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning delivers tailored leadership development built on Harvard Business School and Harvard Business Review content, but its co-creation approach and highly customized blended programs created a complex learner experience that left users unsure what to do next. After phase one of a new solution, the team identified the need to simplify navigation and provide a consistent, client-specific experience without sacrificing flexibility.

Working with D2L’s Learning and Creative Services and using learner interviews and usability testing, they redesigned the Brightspace interface, added clear learning objectives and a single activity page, and developed a reusable design system of templates and components. The result was a cleaner, consistently branded experience that boosted learner engagement, made programs easier to set up and customize at scale, and earned positive client feedback.
