ANGEL Learning Releases ANGEL Learning Management Suite v. 7.3
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) INDIANAPOLIS, IN, May 14 / MARKET WIRE/ --
ANGEL Learning, recognized innovator of
enterprise e-learning
software and services, today announced the general availability of the
ANGEL Learning Management Suite (LMS) version 7.3. Developed with ANGEL's
characteristic focus on providing a highly intuitive approach to managing
workflow for students, educators and administrators, ANGEL 7.3 introduces a
new dimension to the balance of simplicity, power and openness for online learning.
ANGEL's user community contributed significantly to the conception and
design of the ANGEL LMS 7.3 course
management system. Over one hundred specific suggestions from the
community were realized in the new release. "It is clear to me that ANGEL
Learning is committed to the customer. They provide ample opportunities to
supply input as enhancements to the application are discussed, prioritized
and designed through user focus groups and testing by customers," said
Michael Heise, assistant director - Online Learning, Onondaga Community
College. "This customer-centered model of product development helps to
ensure the needs and desires of the community are met as the application
evolves into an even better Learning Management System. As a member of one
of ANGEL's focus groups, I look forward to witnessing the enhanced
interaction between our faculty and students as they use the latest version
of the ANGEL LMS."
"While we emphasize headlines about new product features, the real story
about ANGEL 7.3 is one of refinement and balance," said Ray Henderson,
chief products officer, ANGEL Learning. "By listening to our users, we
found numerous areas where we could improve the experience for the most
frequently performed actions. We've reduced steps to action; increased
leverage with batch functionality and added greater power to automate
routine steps. Our customers have also helped us envision and develop
innovative new ways to add instructional power and perspective to
discussion forums."
For instructors and learners, ANGEL 7.3 provides the following additional
benefits:
-- Simplified Discussion Forum Management and Evaluation. Multiple view
modes and search filters make it easy for instructors to find and act on
discussion posts, either individually or in batch. ANGEL 7.3's automated
scoring rubrics allow the system to evaluate student behavior according to
instructor-established rules.
-- Algorithmic Questions Enhance Assessments. Instructors can now create
numerical formula or logical substitution questions that are truly
algorithmic but automatically graded. ANGEL's algorithmic questions
include variable definition tools, flexible rubrics allowing for partial
credit and unit synonym scenarios.
-- User-Interface Enhancements Ease Individual Customization. Drag-and-
drop page editing, a new theme editor and a host of pre-packaged themes
make it easy for every ANGEL user to personalize ANGEL.
-- Improved Documentation Reduces Support Burdens. Interviews with ANGEL
administrators and instructional designers led us to develop over 500 pages
of new "Step-by-Step" tutorial documentation to assist in getting faculty
on board and facilitate change management.
For system administrators and institutions, ANGEL 7.3 provides the
following additional benefits:
-- Redesigned Administrator Console Advances Usability. ANGEL's signature
ease-of-use is now built into ANGEL's Administrator Console. Drag-and-drop
customization, batch operations and ready access to data simplify and
streamline complex administrative tasks.
-- Agent Technology Improves SIS Data Integration. The same powerful
agent technology applied to helping faculty automate their work is now
applied to designing and operating data administration tasks in ANGEL 7.3.
Administrator tools assist in developing agents that perform file or web
service operations at planned intervals for enrollment and course
management without programming.
