LEADING RELIGIOUS EDUCATOR SELECTS BRIGHTSPACE
D2L Chosen to Provide Learning Management by Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago
Kitchener, Waterloo, Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global learning technology leader D2L announced today that the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago (LSTC) has selected Brightspace as their learning management system after a competitive process.
Founded in 1962, LSTC is a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is based in Chicago, Illinois. Its mission is to form visionary leaders to bear witness to Jesus Christ. It does this through its public church curriculum, a diverse, community-focused educational experience. LSTC searched for a learning management system that would make their move to a completely online curriculum as seamless as possible for students, faculty and staff.
“Moving to fully online course delivery was a tremendous challenge, but one we’ve had to embrace because of the realities of COVID-19 and our commitment to the safety of our people and the communities we serve, together with our belief in our educational mission,” says Dr. Eric J. Kyle, Director of Contextual Education at LSTC. “After examining all of the options available to us, it was clear that Brightspace was the ideal platform to ensure we succeed in this transition.”
According to LSTC, Brightspace offered several advantages:
- Ease of Use: Reviewers found Brightspace intuitive and easy to use, yet powerful and more than capable of meeting complex and diverse needs across the school’s system.
- Data and Analytics: Brightspace provides faculty with a robust learning analytics dashboard, including intelligent agents, release conditions and program outcomes, that provides crucial insight into user engagement, a top priority for LSTC.
- A True Partnership: D2L’s commitment to continual improvement and working as a true partner with educators stood out as a clear advantage for Brightspace.
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in its mission to form the next generation of leaders for a public church by helping them move to fully online learning,” says Krystian Grodecki, Head of Mid-Market Education Sales – North America at D2L. “We’re looking forward to building on this partnership in the months and years to come.”

Little Waterloo Seminary is now Martin Luther University Seminary in the same building - and still tiny.

| WELS thought their "felt needs" were ahead of the pack. No, everyone went down together. All that chaff was designed to inject radical apostate dogma. |
 |
| This was the new building when we arrived, 50 years ago, with a combined MSW program. They did some remodeling to call the building a university. The rest of the campus was Waterloo Lutheran U. but was renamed Wilfred Laurier to get more gubmint funds. |
 |
| The Waterloo chapel had pews and a pipe organ, but they must have seen the article on the WELS Latte Church. |
 |
| Try not to laugh, Latte Lutheran failed with five (5) WELS staffers trying to pump life into this joke. The sect's magazine promoted the experiment. |
 |
| At Latte Lutheran, this lady administered the Means of Grace, in her words, and now works for the DP who bullies church councils into rehiring unfit pastors. |
