ANGEL Workshops

      ANGEL Training sessions for faculty and staff will begin in June 2007 and continue through June 2008.  The CTLE and OIT Staffs have put together a comprehensive training and conversion plan (for existing Blackboard users). Existing users of Blackboard may opt to either continue using Blackboard until May 2008 or switch to ANGEL.  New users (users who do not currently use Blackboard) will use ANGEL.  Three different workshops will be held every other week through June 2008.

ANGEL can be accessed through My.Scranton -> University Links.

ANGEL Basics II

This workshop will focus on how to use your Personal Learning Object Repository (LOR) as a centralized storage area for course content and how to setup “drop boxes” for student file submissions (creating assignments). Personal Learning Object Repositories enable storage, searching, sharing, reuse, and management of learning objects. The ability to easily reuse learning objects across courses, sections, departments, schools, and campuses reduces the investment of effort and time.

Tests/Quizzes/Assignments

Assessments can be used to help build engaging online learning environments, reinforce lessons, and evaluate student work. This workshop will cover how to create Assessments (tests, quizzes and exams) and Assignments (paper submissions) within ANGEL. You will learn how to create/edit an assessment, create question sets and pools, add question types from within ANGEL as well as from other sources, and how to regrade a question. You will also learn how to create a drop box, where students can electronically submit their assignments for review and grading and how to link assignments to the Gradebook.

Reports/Agents/Learning Objectives

This workshop combines the Reports Console and Automations Agents with the Learning Outcomes Management.

The Reports Console allows for an in depth view of student progression and activities. Automation Agents create a unique way of gathering data and carrying out tasks at set intervals or dates based on student activity. For example, an agent can be setup to automatically send email to students who haven’t logged into a course the past week.

Increased pressure to demonstrate and improve student achievement requires systematic assessment of student learning outcomes. ANGEL Learning Outcomes Management (LOM) gives you unprecedented insight into student performance against standards, confidence that course content is aligned to standards and shows you what is working (and what is not working) so you can take action. Learn how to create and map objectives to content items within ANGEL.

Gradebook

The Gradebook interface in ANGEL allows you to track and display grades for ANGEL content items (quizzes, drop boxes, discussion forums, SCORM assessments, and surveys) and for assignments handed-in outside of the ANGEL environment. In this workshop, you will learn how to view grades; enter grades and comments; configure gradebook preferences and import/export grades; manually create and edit gradebook categories, assignments, macros, and grading scale; and weigh categories to compute an overall grade for each student.
