Further InformationNILE Online courses are highly interactive and learning takes place through varied and engaging multimedia content and the collaboration between participants from different contexts. All participants work on the same unit in the same week but there is a high level of flexibility within that time period to help you fit studying around your life and work. The interaction, via forums and other collaborative tools built into the platform, helps and encourages you to share ideas, ask questions, explore concepts and build up a community. Participants have access to NILE's extensive ELT e-library and NILE Members Area. Participants will need regular access to a computer (not just a mobile device), a headset with microphone, and a stable Internet connection. As the course includes portfolio-based assessment and practical engagement with online AI tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini, participants should be comfortable creating and uploading documents, capturing screenshots, and working with web-based platforms. Participants are responsible for ensuring that local network restrictions or firewalls do not limit access to generative AI tools. About The AI Board
