Attached is an updated version of the comparison chart previously posted. It is now accurate to the best of my knowledge.

I am attaching a PDF of the comparison chart I developed, because I really do want to help everyone! However, be aware that there are a couple places highlighted where I need to see the screens on our preview server to verify the information. I do not yet have access to that. When I've been able to verify everything, I will post an updated version.

To optimize the performance of Penn State's Course Management System, ANGEL, during spring finals week, the Import Wizard and Export Wizard tools will be turned off from 5:00 a.m. Saturday, May 3 until 7:00 a.m. Saturday, May 10. These tools include the Copy Course, import Content Package, import Master Course, and export ANGEL Archive functions. The tools for importing and exporting individual lesson content items between courses and groups will be turned off as well. These temporary changes for that week are one of a number of steps that have been taken to improve ANGEL performance during the period of intense usage associated with finals week.

Can anyone point me to a single post or file with a list of the changes to ANGEL that will happen with the 7.2 upgrade? I can find posts that talk about some individual topics, but don't see anything that has everything together in one complete list. I'd like to link to something for our faculty development course for summer instructors that will be running the week between spring and the first summer semester. thanks!

An update was applied to ANGEL during the maintenance window on April 16. If you have any questions regarding this update, please contact ANGEL Support. To see the details for this update, please click "read more" below.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2008, Information Technology Services will remove all ANGEL course and group mail messages dated May 14, 2004 or prior from the ANGEL system. This action is being taken in preparation for the upgrade from ANGEL version 7.1 to 7.2 following the spring semester. Mail messages sent prior to May 14, 2004 are in an older format that will not be compatible with version 7.2.

Many questions are coming in concerning classes reaching file size capacity and students unable to deposit to drop boxes because of classes being to the max in file size. Is there any more information on this or a place to go to to learn more?
