The Learning Technology Team would like to say a very big thank you and many congratulations to the members of academic staff who have received a NILE Ultra Course Award this year.
The recipients of a 2026 Ultra Course Award are:
- Hazel McAllister for EDUM134: Approaches to Language Learning – Theory and Method
- Kardi Somerfield for MKTM057: Digital Diversity
The Ultra Course Awards recognise staff who have created excellent Ultra courses for their students, and each course submitted for an award is reviewed by a panel of experts to ensure that it meets the award criteria, which are that the course:
- Follows the NILE Design Standards for Ultra Courses (https://libguides.northampton.ac.uk/learntech/staff/nile-design/nile-design-standards);
- Is clearly laid out and well-organised at the top level via the use of content containers (learning modules or folders), and that content items within top-level content containers are clearly named and easily identifiable for students, using sub-folders where necessary to organise content within the top-level content containers;
- Contains a range of content and activities for students to take part in.
