ANGEL Community Hub

Hi All,

The video from the ANGEL Community Hub Town Hall is now available. The latest town hall took place on Wednesday, May 2nd, and was devoted to an in-depth preview of ANGEL v7.1.

I'd like to thank everyone who was able to attend. We had over 60 participants in the Ag Auditorium as well as over 40 other sites connected via Adobe Connect. The session was lively and engaging with lots of audience participation. Together we explored the new, dynamic 7.1 interface that was designed with input from PSU faculty, staff, and students. If you missed the event you can watch a replay of it by clicking here. Read on for additional opportunities to learn more about ANGEL 7.1.

From 6:00 p.m. (EDT) Friday, May 18 to 6:00 p.m. (EDT) Saturday, May 19, Penn State's Course Management System, ANGEL (http://cms.psu.edu/), will be unavailable. During this time period, Information Technology Services (ITS) will be upgrading ANGEL from version 6.3 to version 7.1. ITS regrets any inconvenience this outage may cause. For information on the new features in ANGEL 7.1, visit http://tlt.its.psu.edu/news/index.html#ANGEL71.

Penn State will upgrade ANGEL to version 7.1 at the end of the spring semester. On Wednesday May 2nd from 10:30am-1:00pm we will hold the second ANGEL Community Hub Town Hall meeting to preview version 7.1. The Town Hall will provide support staff and others who work with ANGEL a chance to preview the new ANGEL interface either in person at University Park (101 Ag. Administration Building) or via Adobe Connect. This is an open discussion forum where in depth exploration of all the new tools and features will take place. Time will be available at the end of the seminar for questions and answers.
Objectives:

* Preview the ANGEL 7.1 interface
* Explore how ANGEL 7.1 impacts learning and content management
* Discuss ANGEL 7.1 with your peers from across the university
