ANGEL Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Academic Integrity
NNU helps students write with academic integrity by using TurnItIn. This plagiarism-detection software helps students spot weakness in writing with originality, before turning in their assignments. Resources are available on the NNU TurnItIn support page.

Web 2.0
Some instructors choose to incorporate wikis and blogs in their courses. On the Web 2.0 page, find definitions and how-tos.

Other Technologies
In addition to the above, E-Learning Services assists with copyright questions, Microsoft Office resources, and the Tk20 data and reporting application.
