D2L has launched its Emerald Release, the newest version of its Brightspace LMS.
Social features include the Activity Feed, which lets users embed social content like TEDx or YouTube videos and images inline. Faculty and teachers can also upload materials from OneDrive and Google Drive and take advantage of smart formatting options to draw attention to important information, send notifications to students and pin posts to keep essential items front and center.
