Course Management System Upgraded

Course Management System Upgraded
http://cms.psu.edu/

Penn State’s Course Management System, A New Global Environment for Learning (ANGEL), now offers expanded features, making it even more versatile. With an upgrade to version 5 in August 2002, ANGEL now provides additional avenues for course communication, monitoring student participation, and recordkeeping.
Some of the new features in ANGEL this fall include:

A customizable profile page that allows users to add, subtract, or rearrange elements, including a to-do list and calculator.

Instructors can add announcements, news, and poll questions.

An optional “course welcome page” can be set to display before any other course material, listing any course announcements and poll questions.

“WhoDunIt” agents allow instructors to find out who did or did not log on since a given date, complete a lesson item, achieve a given score on a quiz or assignment, or contribute to a message board discussion.

Attendance may now be recorded within ANGEL.

Faculty may register for free ANGEL seminars incorporating the new version 5 features by visiting http://its.psu.edu/training, selecting the “Technology Seminars” link, then “Register for Seminars.”
