"The Devils in the Details: Maximizing Your Use of ANGEL"
Presented at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia
January, 2009


USIP adopted ANGEL for their course management system in 2008. Phyllis Blumberg, the Director of the Teaching and Learning Center, invited me to come out and work with her faculty on ways they could maximize the capabilities of ANGEL. The day was broken down into two main segments, a morning plenary address and hands-on sessions covering the advanced features of ANGEL, the quiz tool, and the gradebook. The plenary discussed leveraging the capabilities of a ANGEL in the Web 2.0 world. Click here to watch the recording: "The Devils in the Details: Maximizing Your Use of ANGEL"
