During the start of the 2011 academic year, the Learning Technology team noticed an issue with staff and students receiving high numbers of old announcements from NILE. Whilst the problem was investigated, we took the decision to reduce the notification functionality. We have been working with the supplier to investigate the problem in more detail and believe the problem is now solved and we have reactivated the full notification system. See the entry on the LearnTech blog.

Innovators wanted!
Posted on 26 September 2011, submitted by Julie Usher
You may already be aware that the University’s mobile app is now available for Apple and Android devices, with a Blackberry version coming soon. But did you know it allows you and your students to have mobile access to course and module sites on NILE? The Learning Technology team is looking for innovative staff to help put this part of the app through its paces. Does your course or module involve learning outside the classroom environment – in studios, workplaces or in the field? If so, then iNorthampton could help you support your students and give them new opportunities for authentic, situated learning. We are looking for pilots to run this academic year. The team will be on hand to help you get started, and to support you and your students throughout the module – we may even be able to lend you some devices to use. You can find out more about the app at www.northampton.ac.uk/mobile.
If you’re interested in giving it a try, please email the Learning Technology team at: ltsupport@northampton.ac.uk.
