Important WAOL ANGEL Issues Post 7.4 Upgrade
After WAOL ANGEL was upgraded to 7.4 on Wednesday, some users can no longer log into WAOL ANGEL from http://angel.waol.org. We are working to fix this. In the meantime, users can only log in by using their college domain.
We’ll let you know when this has been fixed.
We are also seeing domain bleeds, and we are working on those, too. Please wait to post announcements until we get that fixed. If you do, your announcements will show up at every college.
We believe the missing classrooms, course copy issues and the access errors are related to domain structure as well.
eLearning Coordinators, please continue to check the ANGEL ticket system to see if someone has already put in a ticket for any error messages you get.

Important: WAOL Course Content Information
Faculty teaching on Washington Online Angel who have been using Washington Online ID numbers (Intent-to-teach forms) to create their courses:
Please use a master classroom to populate the content of the courses you teach from. If you do not have a master classroom and need one please contact Monique at mkovalenko@sbctc.edu
We do not want anyone to lose content so please realize that we will no longer be leaving courses on the server for one year. Please move your content into the Learning Object Repository and/or the Master classroom.
We will only be keeping one quarter’s worth of classrooms for one quarter past its end date. Only Summer quarter will be left on the server for one year.
We will be removing the old classrooms on the schedule below and highly recommend you also save a copy of your old classrooms.
Courses being removed by the end of the month:
Fall 2008
Spring 2009
Courses being removed by January 29:
Winter 2009

ELC, not seeing a WAOL instructor account?
It is worth re-mentioning that new faculty WAOL accounts remain inactive until the faculty login to waol.org with their ANGEL login credentials; this initial login activates the new account.
And remember, brand new faculty (with no accounts at all) get their accounts by using the Account Self-Registration tool.

WAOL & SBCTC Email Downtime Last Weekend
Last Friday (December 11th), the State board’s email system was down. This Monday our service was back up but in the process some of last week’s email was lost. If you were expecting to hear back from us or had trouble contacting us by email during that time it’s likely we lost the communication.
We apologize. Please feel free to resend us anything you think we may have missed.

Important Dates: Last day of Fall quarter & grades due
- Today, Wednesday December 2nd, is the last day of instruction for ALL fall 09 shared courses.
- Fall WAOL grades for ALL shared courses are due next Monday, December 7th by midnight in order to ensure students grades are forwarded to their college.
- Student access to their ANGEL account and fall classrooms will be turned off on Wednesday, December 9th.
Please note: Fall course grades will need to be entered through instructors OLD waol_accounts to access the fall student rosters, and not the new EID account. After fall quarter you will not need to use the old waol_accounts (they will be disabled completely), everything will then be done through your EID accounts, but since the EID change over was during the quarter we have to leave those waol_accounts open so instructors can submit their fall grades.
Any grade changes made after December 7th must be sent to: Monique Kovalenko (mkovalenko@sbctc.edu) and Brook Bane (bbane@sbctc.edu) who will then update and forward these along to the appropriate college.
Click on this link for directions to submitting your grades: http://waol.org/faculty_and_staff/webgrading.aspx
Assigning an Incomplete Grade in a WAOL course….If you choose to give a student an Incomplete grade
1. Assign an “I” grade to the student at the end of the quarter.
2. Determine with the student what work remains to be completed
3. If the student will need access to your classroom in order to complete the work, please work with your eLearning Coordinator to let the WAOL staff know which classroom you want the student to use.
4. WAOL will put the student in your classroom at no additional charge to the student.
5. When the student has completed the work, send the new grade to Brook Bane (bbane@sbctc.edu) or Monique Kovalenko (mkovalenko@sbctc.edu) , and we will correct the student’s record.
