WAOL ANGEL Update January 27, 2010

waol — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 19:00:32 +0000

Audience: ELC, Faculty and ITC

ANGEL Update:

· WAOL ANGEL performance improved Tuesday after turning off What’s New Monday night.

· Thanks to Jerry Lewis and Brandy Long for materials to help instructors and students use the Task feature. Jerry’s video is on the log in page announcement.

· Brandy also tested sending a message to all faculty in the LWTC domain. Since no other domains reported getting the message, domain administrators can now send a message that will only go to their single domain (not everybody on WAOL ANGEL as before).

· ANGEL released Service Pack 5 for 7.4 today. It looks like there are some fixes there for bugs we have seen. As Gold-Hosted customers, WAOL ANGEL will apply this service pack during a regular maintenance period, which is every Friday between 2 and 5:00 am, BUT only after other customers have tested the updates. This is good because we won’t be the ones to find any bugs in the bug fixes. We’ll keep you informed on when ANGEL thinks it is safe to apply this update to WAOL ANGEL.

· An ANGEL Development team has begun to investigate alternatives to What’s New.

· ANGEL identified a way to find and delete additional and unneeded content that can be added when using a course cartridge. These files can be deleted to bring a classroom size down to a workable size. (We saw this same problem when instructors initially imported their classrooms from Blackboard.) Details and instructions will follow on how to delete this duplicated and unnecessary Blackboard cartridge content.

· ANGEL will also help us archive and delete old classrooms. We will discuss that at the next WAOL Advisory Group meeting on February 8.

Thanks, everyone, for all your help in keeping track of the current status for your users.
