Why D2L Brightspace Feeds Fail

Integration with legacy systems like D2L Brightspace requires infrastructure-level remediation to ensure mobile sync reliability.

Universal Time Confusion

Brightspace stores time universally but displays locally. Exports often lose this translation.

Trusted by D2L Brightspace Teams

We don't sell to end-users. We build for the engineers and admins who have to keep the systems running.

"Ellucian Banner generates compliant ICS files for desktop, but they break on iOS. Lokr standardizes the output so students actually see their exam schedules."

James T.

University Registrar, Major State University

"Integrating Canvas was easy, but the calendar subscriptions were flaky. Lokr's proxy layer stabilized the Canvas feeds for over 40,000 students."

Elena R.

CIO, Private Research University

"We use Salesforce for alumni events. Lokr cleans the feed so alum on old Android devices still get the correct event times."
