Spring Classrooms

Mark Carbon will be creating spring classrooms in Angel and Blackboard starting Feb. 6th for all Intent-to-Teach (ITT) forms that have been approved by your college.

If you are teaching in Angel:
In addition to your ANGEL classroom, we are creating a Blackboard classroom for you.  The Blackboard classroom has a message telling students to go login to Angel. This is in case you have a student that by-passes our website and goes directly to Blackboard.
Note: The student user ID in ANGEL does not include waol before the student ID.  In ANGEL students just enter their student ID number.

If you are teaching in Blackboard for Spring:
In addition to your Blackboard classroom, you will be given an Angel classroom that all your students will be enrolled into. Log into your Angel classroom and post a message telling students you will be teaching in Blackboard this quarter.
Post the URL  http://waol.blackboard.com  and these login instructions:

RETURNING STUDENTS – To Login:

• UserID = waol + your student ID number
• Password = the same password you used last quarter

NEW STUDENTS – To Login:

• UserID = waol + your student ID number
• Password = first 5 letters of your last name (no spaces or punctuation) Password example: Johnson=johns, Lee=lee, O’Reilly=oreil

For Spring the waol.org site will be changed to feature ANGEL as WAOL’s course management system rather than Blackboard.  We will still have the Blackboard login links for the few classrooms that will be in Blackboard for Spring.

Faculty still using Blackboard are required to update the Angel classroom to send their students to Blackboard.
Instructions on how to copy your course into ANGEL and how to post messages in ANGEL can be found here: http://www.waol.org/faculty_and_staff/ANGELSupport.aspx
