What schools use Brightspace or Canvas?

Schools that use D2L Brightspace include Southern New Hampshire University, Lone Star College, Blinn College, Dallas College, UTRGV, TCU, Stephen F. Austin State University, Midwestern State, East Texas A&M, El Paso Community College, Graceland, Lees-McRae, Mount Mercy and the University of Dallas. We checked each one at its own sign-in address, listed in the table below, on October 20, 2026. Some schools give Brightspace a local name: Blinn calls it eCampus and Lone Star calls it LSC-Online. A Brightspace sign-in usually sits at a brightspace.com address or on a page whose path starts with /d2l/. Silent Student has a Brightspace mode; that page lists what it skips.

Each address was opened on October 20, 2026 and led to a D2L Brightspace page or to the school’s sign-in for it. Addresses are shown as text, not links: use your school’s own LMS sign-in to reach your classes.

Blackboard Learn, made by Anthology, is still the LMS at some colleges. Three we checked on October 20, 2026: the University of Texas at El Paso (utep.blackboard.com), South Texas College (southtexascollege.blackboard.com) and Austin Community College (acconline.austincc.edu). Each address opens a Blackboard Learn sign-in page. A Blackboard school usually signs in at a blackboard.com address. This page does not list Blackboard schools in bulk yet. Silent Student’s Blackboard mode reads Learn Ultra courses only, skips timed, proctored and access-coded tests, and has been measured on our own Ultra test site, not yet at a school.

Moodle is an open-source LMS, so each school runs its own copy, often at an address that starts with moodle., such as moodle.oakland.edu. Schools we checked on October 20, 2026 include Immaculata University (moodle.immaculata.edu), Oakland University (moodle.oakland.edu, which it calls OUMoodle), Bryn Mawr College (moodle.brynmawr.edu) and Hollins University (moodle.hollins.edu), which sends students to a Microsoft sign-in. Silent Student’s Moodle mode signs in with a Moodle username and password only, so a school that signs you in through a separate portal, as Hollins does, may not connect.

Look at the address of the page where you sign in to your classes. An instructure.com address, or a canvas. subdomain such as canvas.tamu.edu, is Canvas. A brightspace.com address, or a path that starts with /d2l/, is D2L Brightspace. A blackboard.com address, or a page titled Blackboard Learn, is Blackboard. A page that ends in /login/index.php is usually Moodle. Schools often rename their LMS, as Blinn (eCampus) and Lone Star (LSC-Online) do, and the school’s IT help page names the product behind it. For Brightspace, Blackboard and Moodle, Silent Student asks for that same address in Settings.

Sources, checked October 20, 2026: each school’s own sign-in page, at the address shown above (we opened each one and read which LMS it is); Instructure public account search for the Canvas directory; Moodle, About (“the open source learning platform, Moodle LMS”); Blackboard, LMS. What Silent Student does on each LMS comes from its Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard and Moodle pages.
