ANGEL Training Workshops

ANGEL Learning Management System workshops cover a variety of topics. We strongly recommend that you take either the Introduction to ANGEL or the ANGEL for Groups workshops before you take the others unless you are comfortable with the basics of ANGEL.

This introductory workshop is geared toward faculty use of ANGEL for courses. Jargon, rules, features, navigation, essential course settings and how to add content are the main topics covered in this workshop. With a focus on navigation and basic course management, this workshop is for those who are teaching who want to get started with ANGEL.

ANGEL for Groups (1 hour)
ANGEL for Groups is a quick overview of how to add content to an ANGEL communtiy group. This course focuses on managing the content, settings and rosters for ANGEL community groups.
