Case Study: Singapore Management University achieves 50% first-year cost savings and 80%+ adoption with D2L Brightspace

Growing University successfully migrates to new learning platform with impressive results

Singapore Management University (SMU), a modern autonomous university with over 7,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, needed to replace its legacy learning system with a scalable, reliable and user-friendly platform that could better store, search and manage course content while supporting its interactive pedagogy and growing enrolment and grading needs.

Following campus-wide surveys and a thorough multi-month evaluation, SMU selected the Brightspace Online and Blended Learning solution, implemented it rapidly and consolidated access to learning content and online support. The new platform delivered fast adoption (over 80% of students and faculty), simplified management and upgrades, and produced first-year cost savings of 50%, positioning SMU to advance its strategic vision in digital learning.
