ANGEL: Showcasing Web-Enhanced Courses

Have you ever wondered how SUNY Oswego faculty are using ANGEL to enhance their face-to-face courses? For what instructional purposes are they using it? What content do they put online and how do their students use it? During this workshop, at least three SUNY Oswego faculty will be sharing how they are using ANGEL along with the successes and failures they have had using it?

ANGEL Community Groups: Basics

This workshop introduces Community Groups - a feature within the ANGEL learning management system that allows the campus community to participate in online group activity. ANGEL has been traditionally used on campus for faculty teaching courses, but you don't need to be teaching a course to use this ANGEL feature. You will have the opportunity to learn how community groups can contribute to and help organize committee work, research projects and group discussions. You will gain first hand experience, learn about campus policies, and how to request your own group. This workshop combines lecture with hands-on practice.
