ANGEL Community Hub

1) When using ANGEL mail, I see folks are recommending always using the View Inbox within a course (rather than Quick Message) and this will probably side-step the problem I keep running into with faculty as well... but was also wondering if there is a fix for this...

On 2 different computers on campus, when faculty were trying to use the Quick Message "To" feature - when the pop-up opens, the "OK" button that lets you go back to compose the message is off the screen - and when I try to drag it up a little just to get to the "OK" it just snaps back where it was and you can't get to it without using the tab button to tab through options - even then you can't tell if you are actually on the OK button becasue you can't see it...

Greetings all. I am having an issue with a javascript file that was working fine in 7.1, but is now not working in 7.3 and I was wondering if anyone could help me out and figure out what the problem is. The attached file is an accent pad that is used in many of our Spanish quizzes in ANGEL. It is designed so that whenever you click on one of the accented characters, it would place it in the text box where you wanted it. The problem I am now having is that while the accent pad displays properly, it really doesn't do anything. The characters no longer function the way they are supposed to.

I am not a whiz at javascript, so I am seeking anyone who might know something about it.

Thanks!

Why is it that there is no up-to-date general documentation for ANGEL? There are old docs and recorded sessions about upgrading to ANGEL 7.1 (which are obviously obsolete at this point) but there is no general comprehensive up-to-date documentation. It would be good to have:

1) A comprehensive "Intro to ANGEL" document for new students.
2) A comprehensive "Intro to ANGEL" document for new faculty.
3) A recorded Connect training session for new students.
4) A recorded Connect training session for new faculty.
5) A class handout for each of the above Connect training sessions.

It doesn't make sense to have each campus re-invent the wheel and develop and deliver their own training and documentation and handouts to teach all of their new faculty and new students!

The Discussion Forum tool has undergone a lot of changes in version 7.3. One of which is the inclusion of a new tab under the forum settings called the Interaction tab. This tab combines some of the existing features of the tool along with some new features that have been added. This short video provides an overview of the Interaction tab

I have a course that is based on a Master Course. The import was done from the dev. space and everything seems ok except when I click on a discussion forum I get an error message.
"An error has occurred on the server. "

This happens on every discussion forum in the course. It was not a problem during the fall semester.

Any advice on what to do next? I was thinking maybe delete them and copy from the Fall section...

I know that Angel system can automatically group students into teams based on their response to a survey but don't know how to write the action scripts. Also, looks like I can only add action scripts at the survey level but not question level.

Does anyone know the action scripts? Thanks.

For example, I want the system to assign students choosing answer A to team one and those choosing answer B to team two.

I have quite a few inquiries lately about courses reaching and exceeding their file size limits therefore making it impossible for students to submit homework to drop boxes. I have been told to introduce LOR's to faculty who are facing this issue.

Has the file sizes of courses changed?

Are LOR's the only solution?

Should we be alerting faculty about this before it happens to make sure it does not happen?
