Singapore Institute of Technology partners with D2L to offer degree programmes

As more students flock to the university.

On March 28 this year, the Parliament of Singapore gazetted SIT as an autonomous university, allowing Singapore's fifth public university the right to confer its own degrees. Having achieved the status, SIT intends to increase its student enrolment to over 10,000 by 2020.

D2L -- the EdTech company that created Brightspace, today announced that Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) has selected its platform to cater to a growing intake of students as it starts to offer its own degree programmes for the first time since becoming an autonomous university.

Steve Siu, Senior Manager, Communications & Information Technology, Singapore Institute of Technology, said SIT needed a learning management system (LMS) with sophisticated and advanced analytics capabilities to enable the university to start delivering course content online for its new academic programmes.

"D2L met the functionalities and capabilities we required," Siu said. "And we were pleased that D2L had a proven technology that could be implemented within a very aggressive timeframe. We required the LMS to be up and running this year to support the new degree offerings we're introducing."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
