Angel Wednesday, Part 3
Training, Best Practices & Tips for Teaching with ANGEL: Communication Tools
Wednesday, February 3, 12:00 to 2:00 PM, TLC LB 3231C
Facilitators Tom Braziunas, Carol Howe, Deb Ocken, Coryl Celene-Martel
This third hands-on workshop will provide an introduction to the versatile communication tools in the ANGEL learning management system. We will explore how to create discussion rooms in ANGEL and how they can be effectively used to bring classroom interaction to an online class or to supplement an on-campus class with options to continue time-limited campus class communications into more expanded discussions online. Possible rubrics for assessment of student participation will be presented. Built-in email and live chat are additional options in ANGEL. We will cover how to manage student rosters, student teams and peer review.

Part 3 of a 5-session series.

In this second hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to incorporate assignment “drop boxes” in the ANGEL learning management system .  Included will be practice with effectively designing and using an online grade book to keep students informed of their progress.  Whether grading is tied to assignment delivery in ANGEL or the ANGEL system is simply used to communicate grades, access to an up-to-date online grade book is very popular with students!
