Case Study: Edmonton Catholic Schools achieves high student success and flexible online learning with D2L Brightspace

Revelation Online delivers flexible online school programs that help high school students succeed

Revelation Online, part of the Edmonton Catholic School District, is a virtual high school serving about 3,000 students who need an alternative to traditional classrooms (for medical reasons, athletics, etc.). With a small team and tight public funding, the program needed a flexible, mobile-first platform that supports self‑paced learning, frequent course updates, and measures to protect academic integrity.

By adopting D2L Brightspace with the Daylight interface and cloud delivery, Revelation Online provides responsive mobile access, customizable release conditions, randomized quizzes, and low-maintenance live updates—freeing staff to focus on teaching. The platform has driven strong engagement and outcomes: completion rates average 80% overall and exceed 90% in some classes, helping many students stay on track to graduate.
