At D2L, UX Research is part of the larger Product Design Team. This means we work closely with Product Designers to inform the design on product initiatives. We get involved early in development projects to conduct research about our users' goals, motivations, and challenges.

The Product Design Team is part of our larger Technology, Engineering, and Design organization that is responsible for creating and developing all of D2L's products.
