LearnZillion, a Washington, D.C.-based K–12 curriculum-as-a-service (CaaS) company, is partnering with Canadian ed tech company D2L to integrate LearnZillion’s standards-aligned curricula into D2L’s Brightspace Lessons learning management system (LMS).

Thus, teachers using Brightspace Lessons will have access to LearnZillion’s content to provide students with “a more personalized blended learning experience,” according to a news release.

“By partnering with D2L, we’re giving more teachers and instructional leaders in schools and districts access to LearnZillion’s extensive library of standards-aligned curricular materials,” said Eric Westendorf, CEO and co-founder of LearnZillion, in a statement. “Our goal is to ensure teachers have easy access to materials to create engaging classrooms, and can focus on personalizing instruction for their students.”

According to a news release, “LearnZillion offers a dynamic, easy-to-use cloud-based software service complete with content to support high quality instruction.” The partnership between the two companies will “make it easier for school systems using Brightspace Lessons to take full advantage of LearnZillion’s offerings.”

The release states that TRECA, an online public school based in Ohio, will be utilizing LearnZillion’s full offering of math resources for students, beginning in the fall.
