NILE Archiving<\/strong><\/p>\n

LearnTech are actively managing the space allocated to us by Blackboard for the NILE system to avoid any unnecessary subscription charges. As we have material on the system which dates back several years, we intend to archive sites that are no longer being actively used. The sites chosen to archive have creation dates of 2007 (which includes information dating from as far back as 2003) and 2008. This process will take place in the last week of June 2013.More details at:http:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/2013\/05\/24\/old-nile-site-archiving-june-2013\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Welcome Sites<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome sites on NILE are now being created for subject areas to enable applicants to access course details and NILE prior to enrolment. For more details on this then please contact your Student Experience Committee representative for your School or Rob.Howe@northampton.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

NILE Upgrade<\/strong><\/p>\n
