Desire2Learn (D2L)

D2L Brightspace is the course management system used by ECC to deliver online and hybrid classes. It is also used to enhance many face-to-face classes and offers a high-quality academic experience that can include integrated librarians, tutors, and more. You must be registered in a course using D2L Brightspace to access the system.
