               Welcome to IT Challenge Week 2018

                                          What is Challenge Week?

    It's our way of providing you with the information you need for a successful start to the study year. We try to make it interesting, entertaining and fun.  

    There are three main objectives for the week:

    • to provide you with all the things you need or need to know before classes start,
    • to help everyone get to know each other and the staff,
    • to have some fun and win some cool prizes!!

    We can't give you any academic credit for what you achieve this week but we can promise that it will make the semester go smoother for you (and us we hope!).

                                              How will this happen?

    We have put together a number of different challenges for you to do as groups throughout the week. Mostly, you don't need to do them in any particular order, or on any particular day - how you organise yourselves is mostly up to you! We strongly suggest that you tackle the Blog creation task, as early in the week as you can though. It will make your life much easier!

    We end the week on Friday, with a "prizegiving",  a lot of laughs and an afternoon tea. Each team gets a box of goodies and there will be lots of random 'spot' prizes too.

                                                  Will anyone help?

    For general questions about the week, feel free to email Sandra (sandra.dyke@nmit.ac.nz).  She will do what she can to help sort them out.

    Additionally, each team is assigned a staff mentor for the week to help if you get really stuck or if you need information that you can't find here.

    • To Do....

      Here are some things you need to do.

      1. If this course is available on your Moodle Dashboard - good news, you are already enrolled
      2. If you can't see this course on your Moodle Dashboard, you can search for the course and add yourself to this course site through the self-enrol option using your NMIT login details.  (Then you can track what you have done and staff can see when you have finished a task and award points!)  
      3. When you have finished a challenge, please use the tick box to mark it as completed. (Any problems contact Sandra Dyke).
      4. Check the news forum regularly to see if there are any announcements.
      5. Have fun!!!

    • Not sure how to self-enrol on this course?

      If you are wondering just how to self-enrol on this Challenge Week 'course' have a look at the top of this page where there is a black ribbon with white menu items.  One of these is labelled Course Admin - click and you will be given an option Enrol me on this course....click it and follow the instructions (you may need to scroll down a bit to find the Enrol button).

      Returning students - if you were enrolled for the course last year then you should be enrolled for this year!!  Please help the new students to enrol.

      If you are still unable to self-enrol  email Sandra with your full name and student number and I will see what I can do from this end but this may not be a speedy option as I have lots of other things to do as well!
