MyNorthampton<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This has been developed during 2017 and phase 1 is already available in the Apple, Play and Window stores. It will continue to be enhanced during the year and has a number of features which are of use to staff and students.<\/p>\n

Blackboard Mobile Learn<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was the original Blackboard (NILE) app which allowed staff and students to work on sites available through NILE. It was removed from the app store from August 2017 and will be unsupported from 31st August 2017. Staff should now use the Blackboard Instructor app and students should use the Blackboard app (previously called Blackboard Student)<\/p>\n

Blackboard Instructor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is now a dedicated Blackboard app for staff. It is currently in its first release but will be enhanced with functionality which allows staff to manage their NILE engagements from a mobile device. If you are running Blackboard Collaborate<\/a> from a mobile device then this app is essential.<\/p>\n

Blackboard App (Previously called Blackboard student)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is now a dedicated Blackboard app for students. It allows students to interact with NILE \/ Collaborate sessions<\/a> from their mobile devices. Please be aware if you have previously downloaded Blackboard student then it will be automatically be updated to this app and the icon will change to the pencil (as shown above).<\/p>\n

Lynda App<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lynda.com is a huge library of high-quality online video tutorials supporting study skills, digital skills, business skills, employability skills and lots more.<\/p>\n

The tutorials are subtitled and include exercise files. On-screen controls mean you decide the pace of your learning, plus you can view content on any device either via your browser or by downloading the app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
