Elluminate Check In ANGEL Timeline ELC and Instructor Accounts in ANGEL Winter 09 Pilot Training Update

All colleges but one have active admin accounts

WAOL is working on policies and practices to manage the storage of recorded sessions currently hosted by Elluminate

Councils and commissions are planning to do meetings on Elluminate or have asked for demonstrations at their meetings◦ Local ELCs are on the front lines!◦ WACTC, IC, CBS, WEC, whole ELC meeting

Phase One: July 08 through March 09◦ Everything currently supported by WAOL moved

from Blackboard to ANGEL All current WAOL users got ANGEL account October Not a current WAOL user?

Colleges can upload with flat file Self-registration ready—gives instructor account and

practice classroom Training focus on experienced Blackboard users who

are moving to ANGEL Continue to use existing WAOL processes (WAOL ID

numbers, Intent to Teach forms, etc.)

Phase Two: March 09 through June 09◦ Services new from WAOL

Implement individual college domains and admin access Beginning to testing admin access and branding now

All training in ANGEL Training for ePortfolio (which is available in every

classroom now—just no training)

All ELCs have an instructor-level account with a practice classroom

Notification was sent to the email address in the college ELC MyWAOL account, so update your email address if you didn’t get a notification from WAOL ANGEL

ELC accounts will be changed to administrator-level accounts in Phase Two

All instructors who were active on WAOL Blackboard since Fall 07 have ANGEL instructor accounts with practice classrooms

All accounts will be created with the WAOL prefix waol_ first initial last name

These are practice classrooms that are not linked to any existing WAOL classrooms

College ELCs will receive a flat file that can be used to create instructor accounts in WAOL ANGEL.

The user IDs created by these files will have the college prefix (bates_first initial last name….yvc_first initial last name)

Be aware of the potential confusion when some instructors get multiple accounts.

Practice classrooms are not named for teaching—teaching classrooms will be designated by quarter/year.

Self-registration process ready◦ will give instructor-level account and practice ◦ Requires a coupon code that will be managed by

college ELCs.

Instructors teaching on WAOL ANGEL for Winter 09 have received a named classroom for Winter

WHO will be teaching on ANGEL Winter 09?◦ All instructors with system-owned shared

classrooms◦ Fall pilot instructors if they choose◦ New pilot instructors

1. The course must have a WAOL ID number.2. The instructor must complete an Intent to

Teach form for Winter 09, and that form must be approved by the college.

3. The ELC must send an email to Monique mkovalenko@sbctc.edu that includes1. Name of instructor2. WAOL ID number3. Instructor email address

(Not necessary for system-owned shared instructors—We’ll know who they are!)

So colleges don’t start to enroll students without the WAOL ID number

So instructors have time to work on ANGEL classrooms

So WAOL staff can get Winter 09 set up and continue to move forward on other migration tasks

Instructors can export Blackboard (or other CMS) content from existing classrooms and migrate into ANGEL classroom

OR they can build the new ANGEL classroom by bringing over content piece by piece

WAOL staff will help if faculty have trouble exporting content, but it’s easy.

The job search to rehire a faculty trainer will close November 21.
