Welcome to the ANGEL 7.1 Student Quickstart Guide. This guide is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of ANGEL and its collaborative tools.
ANGEL is a web-based course management and collaboration portal that helps educators manage course material and communicate quickly, easily, and effectively. ANGEL is designed to be used as a complement to traditional courses and for distance learning.
With ANGEL, you can take surveys, quizzes and tests, send and receive course mail, post to threaded discussions and chat rooms, upload assignments using drop-boxes, and more. Students can check their progress and grades at any time during the course and can create groups and teams for project or committee work.
A significant part of ANGEL’s power is its ability to be tailored to specific institutional needs. Please note that because your institution determines which tools are made accessible, some segments of this guide may not apply to your use of ANGEL. Contact your institution’s support desk for questions regarding ANGEL.
ANGEL's powerful new features have been enhanced with a streamlined user interface that simplifies navigation, as well as rich, new tools.
Grades presents your grades in the class and the class average. Games engage students with interactive learning opportunities such as the Crossword Puzzle and Quiz Show game options.
Instant Messaging (IM) provides personalized interaction and collaboration for today's student communication style.
ANGEL is designed to support the widest variety of client-side operating systems and client-side browsers through its limited use of client-side technologies. While ANGEL products generally function well in many browsers, the following are formally supported and tested:
- With PCs running Windows OS: Internet Explorer, Firefox and Mozilla
- With Macs running OS X: Firefox and Mozilla
Testing is performed on the latest generally available versions for the above platforms and browsers with each General Release of ANGEL products, ensuring full support at that time. For additional information on browser support please visit http://support.angellearning.com.
