Dear Students, 

Please be aware that Daylight Savings ends in some states in Australia (NSW, SA, ACT, VIC, and TAS) on the 5 April 2026 (3am AEST)

This means that the clocks will move backward by 1 hour, and whilst the arranged times for lectures etc will not change, the time zone in NTi Learn will automatically adjust to the new daylight savings time, at 3am Sunday 5 April 2026. This may affect the times that you submit assessments, as well as attending lectures and consultation times going forward.

Please do not hesitate to contact Student Services (enquiry@nantien.edu.au) if you have any questions. 

Please note: Any assessments due on Sunday 5 April will not be affected as assessment due dates are midnight and this will be prior to the clocks automatically going forward

Dear NTI Students,

 When permitted to use GenAI tools, you might be uncertain about how to use them to support your learning and about how to appropriately acknowledge and reference that use. Academic Support will run a workshop to equip you with the necessary skills to use GenAI tools mindfully and ethically in assessment tasks.

Ethical Use of GenAI Tools Workshop

Monday 30 March 2026, 2 pm (AEDT), up to 1.5 hours

In this workshop, we will focus on the requirements when it comes to using, acknowledging and referencing GenAI tools in your assessments at NTI.

First, we will walk through the ethics and requirements behind GenAI use at NTI, and then, we will invite you to respond to a few scenarios to demonstrate your capacity to use GenAI tools ethically and apply these requirements. This workshop will be particularly useful if you are permitted to use GenAI tools in assessments tasks but need guidance on how to do so with integrity.

Please register using this link.

Please note that places are limited due to the interactive nature of the workshops. Registration is essential and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. An additional workshop might be run depending on demand (date and time to be confirmed).

Warm wishes,

The Academic Support Team

Dear NTI Students

 Academic Support is conducting a succinct half hour session on Advanced Searching. In this session, we will venture further afield than the class readings and basic searches in the online research databases accessible through NTI, to search for reputable quality sources which contribute to demonstrating your argument in your assessment.

 Topics covered, include:

• searching techniques
• widening your search
• evaluating search results

and we will leave you with some resources to peruse.

We welcome ABS, HB, HSW and MH students. Registration is essential and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
