Your NMIT access perks

LinkedIn Learning is a leading online learning platform that helps anyone learn business, software, technology, human and creative skills to achieve personal and professional goals.

Over 17,000 self-guided video courses and learning paths are available to staff and students 24/7.

You can find login access links on the Moodle dashboard and via MYNMIT.

For more information go to How to use LinkedIn Learning(external link).

If you are experiencing difficult circumstances and don’t have access to a device or laptop you can request a loan laptop via the Technology Access Fund for Learners (TAFL) to help with online or off-campus study.

Requests can be made through your tutor, SANITI, Te Puna Manaaki, Pasifika Support, or the Wellbeing Team.

The loan devices are issued to you through your library account for medium to long-term use or the duration of your course. Terms and conditions apply, find out more about the Technology Access fund for Learners (TAFL).

What equipment and software come with the loan laptop?

Devices range from a few years old to brand new, some may have touch screens, but all will come with wifi, webcam and Windows 11. 

The devices come set up like a computer you’d buy from a retail store and are capable of running software from your NMIT Microsoft (Office) 365 online account, which also enables you to download full versions of that software to the device for free. 

WiFi on campus

You will need your user-name and password to connect to eduroam, the on-campus WiFi network. For more device-specific instructions, visit Eduroam Free Campus WiFi(external link)

WiFi at home

A subsidised internet scheme by Skinny is available if you don’t have WiFi broadband at your home address. Find out more on the Skinny website(external link).

Did you know your computer can read aloud to you? Or voice type for you? Check your spelling and grammar?

We recommend a range of software and online tools to make studying easier.
