ANGEL Community Hub

Faculty who use or plan to use Penn State's Course Management System, ANGEL (http://cms.psu.edu/), are encouraged to take advantage of several upcoming opportunities to learn more about ANGEL.

A free seminar entitled "Start Using ANGEL in Your Course Right Away" will be offered on both August 22 at 9:00 a.m. and August 23 at 1:00 p.m. in 4 Life Sciences, University Park. This seminar is geared toward faculty who want to start using ANGEL but are not sure where to start.

An "ANGEL Town Hall" will take place on August 27 at 9:30 a.m. and again on September 11 at 1:00 p.m. in 141 Computer Building, University Park, or via an Adobe Connect videoconference. A town hall allows faculty, support staff and others who work with ANGEL a chance to view the new ANGEL 7.1 interface. It is an open discussion facilitated by ANGEL support staff within ITS, where in-depth exploration of all the new tools and features takes place, with time available at the end for questions and answers. To register for either the "Start Using ANGEL" seminar above or a town hall session, visit http://its.psu.edu/training/ and select "Register for seminars."

A new issue of ANGEL Shorts, "5 Things Faculty and Staff Should Know about the Learning Object Repository," will be posted on the ANGEL Community Hub site at http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/angel/ on August 31. ANGEL Shorts are one-page documents covering a specific point of interest in ANGEL. They cover the five most essential things you need to know about the topic in order to maximize its use. The aim is to help faculty, staff, and students maximize the value of using ANGEL as a teaching and learning tool.

These offerings are services of Teaching and Learning with Technology, a unit of Information Technology Services.
