TORONTO, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- D2L, a global leader in learning innovation, announced that D2L Lumi has been recognized as a winner of Tech & Learning's Best of Show Award in the Higher Education category, presented at ISTELive 2026.

Designed to support educators and learners, D2L Lumi can enhance the human learning experience through AI-enabled tools integrated directly within D2L Brightspace. D2L Lumi helps educators and instructional designers build engaging course content aligned to learning outcomes, support feedback generation, access learner insights and save time while supporting student success. For learners, D2L Lumi can provide access to personalized tutoring and study support grounded in course materials and learning outcomes.

"Student success begins with making sure learners have the right support at the moment they need it while educators have more space to focus on the deeply human work of teaching", said Dr. Cristi Ford, Chief Learning Officer at D2L. "D2L Lumi brings trusted AI into the learning environment in ways that help faculty create more engaging learning experiences while at the same time giving learners personalized guidance grounded in their course materials. We are so honored to be recognized by Tech & Learning for helping institutions use AI thoughtfully and not simply to introduce new technology."

Tech & Learning's Best of Show Awards are evaluated by a panel of industry expert judges and editors. Winners are selected based on a points score against a range of criteria, including innovation, feature set, reliability and performance.
