KnowledgeNow and Western University Announce Strategic Partnership to Modernize Continuing Education Courses Using eClarity Software
OTTAWA, ON, May 22, 2025 - KnowledgeNow eLearning Solutions is proud to announce our new partnership with Western University’s Continuing Studies to transform and migrate its portfolio of professional and continuing education courses to D2L’s Brightspace LMS. This collaboration will leverage KnowledgeNow eLearning Solution’s eClarity software platform and elite instructional design team to modernize course content, streamline delivery, and elevate the learner experience across Western’s non-credit offerings.
The initiative is part of a long-term digital transformation strategy led by Western’s Continuing Studies team to ensure its offerings are not only aligned with market and learner needs, but also consistently designed and delivered to the highest standards. KnowledgeNow will support the migration of all existing courses to Brightspace while simultaneously applying its proprietary Course Modernization Framework to create structured, branded, and pedagogically sound online experiences.
“We’re honoured to support Western University’s ambitious vision for continuing education,” said Amanda Douglas-Young, CEO of KnowledgeNow. “By combining eClarity technology with our team’s deep instructional design expertise, we’re helping transform legacy content into best-in-class learning experiences that engage adult learners and meet the demands of today’s workforce.”
Over the next year, the joint team will work to transition hundreds of course modules into eClarity, enabling modular design, version control, and export into Brightspace with full accessibility compliance and instructional integrity. Western’s commitment to learner outcomes and modern delivery models makes them an ideal partner for this initiative.
“At Western Continuing Studies, we’re focused on offering flexible, high-impact programs that deliver real-world skills to diverse audiences of learners,” said Amrit Ahluwalia, Executive Director of Continuing Studies at Western University. “This partnership with KnowledgeNow gives us the technology, people, and pedagogical rigor needed to scale quality while staying true to who we are as a division of Western University. We’re excited to lead by example in the evolution of lifelong learning.”
