ANGEL

Many programs are designed to make it easier for faculty and students to utilize the web for teaching and learning. Course management software, such as ANGEL, allows instructors to distribute and manage course materials, assignments, communications and other aspects of instruction for courses - all from one central place, through one single interface. Things you can do with ANGEL include: create discussion groups and chat rooms; create teams and team collaboration space; create online quizzes, surveys, and polls; post student grades; upload and disseminate text, audio, animation, and video information; create links; post assignments; utilize a calendar; and administrate your course. EIS provides customized documentation and resources, workshops and seminars, and consultations specifically related to ANGEL. If you need support for a topic or have any questions at all related to ANGEL or it's use, contact Rox
