NILE December 2015 update

Between Saturday 19th December 10:30pm GMT and Sunday 20th December 10:30am GMT , NILE will be upgraded to the latest stable version. It will be unavailable between these times.

Northampton is currently on Blackboard April 2014  and will be upgraded to the October 2014 release. This version jumps one release above our current point and will ensure that we remain within contracted support. There are no new significant features but there will be security updates.

All users of NILE should ensure that browsers are updated to keep within the supported levels.

Whilst during the academic year security fixes are applied, annually we need to ensure that NILE is at the most stable version with the latest features to benefit staff and students. Our hosting contract provides us with at least 99.9% availability for NILE 365 days a year providing we ensure that we maintain our version.

The new version contains security updates to ensure that NILE is maintained as an advanced virtual learning environment to maximise the student experience.

Please contact Rob.Howe@nothampton.ac.uk if there are any comments or questions around the upgrade process.
