New look-and-feel for the NILE homepage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

June 2020 sees a new look-and-feel for the NILE homepage. While the new homepage is indeed radically different, NILE courses are entirely unaffected. You can read more about the new NILE homepage here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New NILE courses for the 20\/21 academic year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New NILE courses for the 20\/21 academic year will be available for use from the 2nd of June onwards. As usual, the new courses follow the standard template as set out in the NILE Design Standards<\/a>, so you can create your courses afresh, or you can copy materials from your 19\/20 courses into your 20\/21 courses. To copy materials across, please follow very carefully our instructions about how to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full information about finding and setting up your new NILE courses can be found in our FAQ – How do I set up my new NILE course for the upcoming academic year?

There are no significant changes to the way that module courses have been created, however, there are major changes to the way that programme courses have been created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to NILE programme courses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year the Student Experience Committee approved changes to the way that programme courses are created in NILE. For many years each programme has had a number of different programme course variations in NILE, which meant that for most programmes there were often eight different variations, and no single course that collected together all students on a programme. From this year onwards there is now a single programme course per programme per academic year, and this course has all students on it who are taking the programme (all years of study, full- and part-time, single and joint honours). This means that a single honours student will be enrolled on one programme course, and a joint honours will be enrolled on both of their programmes courses, plus the joint honours programme course. Foundation students will also have a single programme course for all foundation students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NILE updates for anonymous marking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As anonymous marking becomes the new normal for the 20\/21 academic year, changes in the integration between NILE and the Student Records System mean that you will no longer see students on your NILE courses who have transferred or withdrawn from your modules. The main effect of this is that you can now safely use Turnitin’s ‘Email non-submitters’ tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, and to assist with the process of anonymous marking, the Learning Technology Team have put together the following guides for staff and students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
