About Brightspace for Employees

Brightspace through D2L

Brightspace is Jamestown Community College's learning management system for instruction.

JCC was selected to participate in the first cohort of SUNY colleges to migrate our learning management system from Blackboard to Desire2Learn’s (D2L) Brightspace.

Through this SUNY initiative, we have a shared learning management system for all SUNY campuses, with a single online learning platform, consistent templates, better training opportunities and support, and a common set of online tools for all SUNY institutions.
