ANGEL Tip of the Day #4 - Organizing Your Courses in ANGEL

ANGEL Tip of the Day #4 - Organizing Your Courses in ANGEL

Did you know you could organize your courses in the Courses nugget? (I didn’t either until Lindsay Custer told me – Thanks Lindsay!) Here’s how –

Log into ANGEL and rest your cursor over the Courses nugget to get the editing pencil. Click on that. Scroll to the very bottom of the screen and you’ll see some organizing options


• Organize by semester will group your courses by quarter. By Category will group master courses in one set and quarterly class shells in another. Use the plus/minus signs next to the organized courses to expand or compact the list.
• Do you want to see those little icons under your course telling you that you have ungraded items, mail, posts, etc? If no, you can unclick those boxes and they won’t show.
• Your quarterly classes show up as disabled and I have ANGEL set to show your disabled courses. However, you may wish to keep disabled courses hidden to reduce the clutter in your Courses tab. You can choose to do that in this space.

ANGEL Tip of the Day #39: Grading in ANGEL 7.4

Hopefully you are all finding ANGEL 7.4 to be a whole lot like ANGEL 7.3. One big difference is how you grade student work. You no longer use the Utilities link to grade. Instead, next to it is a new “Submissions” link. Under that, you will find the various options to grade submissions.

Bonus: Looking to clear your fall courses out of your courses nugget? Follow these steps from ATOD #4 – Organizing Your Courses. When in the courses nugget, you can uncheck the courses that you don’t want to see.
