There are a range of tools available for new and existing enrolled students to contribute towards development of digital capability<\/a>. The three listed below are key starting points. A video introduction<\/a> to this posting is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Rate your digital fitness<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will provide a quick overview of your digital strengths and areas for development. A personal report will be generated which will allow you to track improvements over time. For more details see – https:\/\/blogs.northampton.ac.uk\/learntech\/2020\/07\/10\/rate-your-digital-fitness-digital-capability\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) The \u201cStudent Introduction to NILE (Ultra)\u201d site on the Organisations tab on NILE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NILE (Northampton Integrated Learning Environment) is a online base for most of your course. This site provides a basic introduction to NILE. You will find the site listed in the “Organisations” area after logging into NILE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) LinkedIn for Learning Resources<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LinkedIn Learning will be a resource that you will return to regularly over your student journey. It will help you develop the generic skills that will improve your ability to produce academic level assignments as well as develop digital skills specific to your chosen field. We believe the sooner you get familiar with using LinkedIn Learning the quicker you will be able to produce high quality work.
