Case Study: The American College of Financial Services boosts engagement and degree conferrals with D2L Brightspace

The American College of Financial Services - Customer Case Study

The American College of Financial Services (ACFS) needed a stronger way to deliver online professional education and improve student engagement, completion, and conferral rates for its finance designations, certifications, and degrees. Working with D2L Brightspace, ACFS looked for a modern LMS that could support dynamic learning experiences and help students meet rigorous outcomes.

D2L Brightspace was implemented with tools like Performance+ and Class Progress to track learner engagement, while Creator+ and D2L Lumi helped speed up course creation with AI-generated practice questions and knowledge checks. With D2L Brightspace, ACFS increased engagement and degree/conferral rates by up to 18% year over year, including a 13% rise in graduate degree conferrals, while also improving support for at-risk students through intelligent agents and 24/7 assistance.
