About the OWL Migration Plan

OWL (Online Western Learning) is Western’s online learning management system (LMS). Western uses OWL to manage and deliver undergraduate, graduate, and Continuing Studies courses, as well as training across the university. Through the OWL Migration Plan, OWL Brightspace was selected as the new LMS. OWL Brightspace provides Western with:

  • Better support for mobile 
  • A more modern and intuitive interface 
  • Better integration with other eLearning tools 
  • Increased performance 
  • More reliability for large online assessments 
  • Better tools to support student engagement 
  • and more!
