ANGEL COURSES -Spring 2007 (updated January 6, 2007)

An ANGEL course has been set up for every E&H course.  The appropriate students were enrolled as of the registrar's records on January 4, 2007. Additional updates will be made every few days until the final Add/Drop date.

The courses were set up with the course title from the registrar's records with "Spring07" in the title. A typical course title would be :

General Biology (BIOL-117-2 Spring07)

As an instructor you can create your own ANGEL courses, enroll or un-enroll students, and manage the content of each of your ANGEL course sites.   This page tells you how to find and use your automatically created "(Spring07)" courses with the pre-enrolled students.  If you would like to see the names of students enrolled in your ANGEL course, click here for instructions. This is NOT the official class roster. The official class roster is in WebAdvisor.

These instructions assume that you are in your ANGEL account on the web.  To get there go to "https\\angel.ehc.edu" and log into ANGEL using your E&H e-mail ID and password.   If you would like more information on ANGEL, go to "http://instruct.ehc.edu/angel/Angel_resources.htm". Keep reading below to learn how to view and work with your ANGEL course.   [  Note: If you would like to schedule a Help session. call Harry! (6809) ]

DISABLED

Instructors will not see disabled courses until they set their account to "Show disabled" courses.

Students will not see disabled courses until the instructor "enables" them.

These courses were "disabled" when they were created.  This means:

• The enrolled students will NOT see the courses when they log into ANGEL
• Instructors can choose to "show disabled" courses on their main page in ANGEL, or hide them. Instructors can also "enable" or "disable" courses to make them available, or unavailable, to students.

Instructors who want to use the courses that were automatically set up will need to:

• see them (i.e. "show disabled")
• "enable" the courses they want students to see.

You can "show disabled" and work on a disabled course without "enabling" it for students.

This web page shows how to show, or hide, "disabled" courses and how to "enable" or "disable" courses.

SHOW DISABLED

"Show Disabled" is a setting for each instructor account.   When you are in your main page (My Page) in ANGEL you will see a title bar labeled “Courses”.   On the right of the bar is a small yellow icon that looks like a gear wheel.

 If you click on that icon you go into Course Settings.  One of the course settings is "Show Disabled" and next to it are radio buttons allowing you to choose “Yes” or “No”.   Check “Yes” to allow disabled courses to be displayed with your courses on your "MY PAGE".   Check "No" to hide disabled courses so that they do not appear on your main page.

How to ENABLE or DISABLE a course

This explains how to hide courses from students, or make them available to students.

Instructors can change a number of course settings for each course.  The setting labeled "Member Access" is used to "enable" or "disable" a course.

• When "Member Access" is set to "All Members", the course is "enabled".
• When "Member Access" is set to "Editors Only", the course is "disabled".   Here's how to change that setting:

First you have to get into the course, on the web, as the instructor.  You may have to first change your account settings to "Show Disabled" (see above) in order to see your courses.  Assuming you are in your course site with the correct "Show Disabled" setting, here is how you would "enable" or "disable" a course:

1) Click on the "Tools" menu tab on the upper right of the screen.

2) Once you are in the Tools page, click on the choice labeled "General Course Settings" under "Course Settings"

3) This brings up another page of choices. Scroll down to near the bottom of the page where you will see the setting for "Member Access".

4) For "Member Access", choose "All Members" to enable the course. Choose "Editors Only" to disable the course. Be sure to click "Save" after you have made changes.

Since you are already here, notice the "Guest Access" and "Show on Search" settings. "Guest Access" controls whether or not visitors can drop into your course. If you set it to "None", only enrolled students can visit your course.

"Show on Search" determines whether ANGEL users can find your course using the "find Course" button in their ANGEL accounts. If this is set to "No", they can't find it to enroll into it.   If they are already enrolled, they don't have to "find" it.   Your choice!
