Questions from Angel training session
1. Editing the main page of Angel
Each person may edit the individual course main pages using the drop and drag method or pushing the edit button to add, change, or delete pages. The main Angel page that lists your information and courses is set up and may only be changed by the admin.
2. Online campus Personal Organizational Settings (viewable by).
This is your personal information page and may provide students in your courses along with all Angel uses access to your course and personal information. Just fill in the blanks and click on the view pull down to establish the viewers of you information. I set it to everyone except for my cell number.
INFO: Judy Dunn is working to have a line item in the grade book readable by our online grading system so we are able to review the online grades and then submit with out having to enter all the information. Any comments or suggestions should be sent directly to Judy.
3. E-porfolio link does not work
This function within Angel is not set up yet. It will be working by mid Spring term. It will allow for homework drop boxes and student uploads of project data that may be used as a repository for future courses.
4. Adding files
Lessons tab, add content, add folder. You will then add content to the folder and add a file or one of the many choices provided.
5. Student view versus teaching view
When you click on the glasses top left of individual course screen and select preview, you will be able to see your course from the student perspective. When you are done just click on the course tab, on the glasses again and then cancel preview.
6. Adding links in the resources page – Such as smart tutor or student eval link
Resources tab course resources click on pencil and add link
7. Grade book – Manage tab grade book (tutorial overview)
There will be training sessions starting first of December covering grade book specific materials. At this point you are able to go into the tutorial and do some testing
8. Add file to announcements
Communicate Announcements Add announcement
9. Change theme ???
You have an option to have each of your courses to have a theme specific look. Click on change theme course main page.
10. To disable options in course email
Manage mail settings disable all items listed. This will make it so students are not able to send emails within Angel. Just in case you use a different method for communicating with students.
11. Different ways to view course email
There are a couple of options to view your course emails. On the main page of your Angel there is a link to course email. This may be used or minimized. If you minimize you will need to go into each individual course to answer your emails. This is the way we have been doing it in WebCT. You also have an option on the Angel main page to view all your course email at the same time. If you use this method it does not separate your emails by course only by date. The good thing about this function is that it sends your replies directly to the individual courses. I will minimize the course email on the Angel main page and answer them from within each individual course to start. Once I am use the new CMS (course management system) I may use the main page function.
12. Rearrange folders within lessons tab
When you are in the lessons tab you are able to move folders using the drop and drag method. Just click on the rearrange link and then left click on the item you wish to move and drag it to its new location.
13. Assessments – exams
When in the lessons tab click on add content and then on new assessment. Then you will be able to click on the toggle button advanced. This will allow you to set dates along with many other options. There is an access tab and an interaction tab. They both allow you to establish dates. Nancy was looking into the differences. (This FAQ will need to be updated and have a solid answer for these two items)
14. Internet security
Angel allows for locking the browser when in exams. It allows you to keep students from print screens, copy/paste functions, and surfing the internet. Once you have an assessment created click on it and then on settings. You will then click on the advanced toggle button and then on access. You will see this setting at the bottom of this screen.
(I must warn that it does not keep students from phoning a friend, picture phones, texting, our using another close computer to find answers) Sorry my lame humor.
15. Syllabus
Course homepage upload file or edit syllabus
16. To add discussion forums:
Lessons – Add content folder / Advanced (title) save. Then add content discussions forum click advanced and establish settings.
17. Announcements
We are now able to edit announcements so students view current information. In webct if you sent an announcement email you had to send a correction. Now you may edit the original announcement that you sent.
