Assignments and Gradebook
Wait. "Drop Box" is okay again? Yup. Learn how to use it to post,
collect, and grade assignments in Angel. Then, check out how to use the
gradebook to organize and review grades (and weight them in a way that
makes sense)!
Blackboard Conversion

previous Bb courses into Angel. Included will be working with imported
content, and updates to test pools and assignments.
Handout
Communication Tools
In this hands-on workshop you'll learn more about the new Course Mail
feature, as well as Angel's Live Office Hours and Chat tools. We'll also
take a look at community tools like the student web pages and Quick Poll
tools.
Discussion Forums
Angel Discussion boards are similar to those in Blackboard, but boast
some new and clever features, such as grading rubrics and "post-first",
in which students have to start a new post before they can reply to
others. Come learn all about it in this hands-on workshop.
Putting Content in Your Angel Course
This class covers the many different types of content you can add to
your Angel course, including new features that were not available in
Blackboard.
Tests and Assessments
Angel's Tests and Assessments provide many similar options to
Blackboard. However, there are some notable changes to how you'll want
to set up your tests. Check out this hands-on session for all the
details.
