NAIT’s website maze: What you need to know (and what you don’t)
So we have Brightspace, Ooks Life, Self Service, shop AT NAIT, Moodle, MyNAIT Portal, NAITSA, NAIT Library Services, NAIT Ooks and the official NAIT website. MyNAIT is what sometimes pops up when I search up other things, and Ooks Life is an app? What is Moodle again?...

I’d watched people glide up NAIT’s wall for months while I was stuck to the treadmills. One afternoon, I entered the gym and glanced at the wall. My gut said that today was the day — and people say listen to your gut. Well, on this day that is precisely what I did. I...
