Some ANGEL first steps

OK, it's May 2009, and your Summer and/or Fall 2009 courses are now on:

http://angel.sbuniv.edu

Instead of Blackboard. You login, but you are not seeing any courses? You just need to change the settings on your Courses Nugget:

  1. Hold your mouse cursor over the Courses nugget, then click the pencil icon that appears in the colored bar with the word "Courses" in it.
  2. Change the "Show Disabled" setting from No to Yes.
  3. Checking the other options helps keep your courses organized by Semesters and Categories.
  4. Click the Save button, and now your Courses nugget shows all those courses.

If you are using your course, and you are now ready to let your students see the course, you'll need to change the status from Disabled to Enabled:

  1. Go into the course, and then the Manage tab (far right across the top).
  2. In the Course Settings nugget, click the General Course Settings link.
  3. Click the Access tab, then change the "Member Access" setting from "Editors Only" to "All Members".
  4. Click Save.

Now, if you go back to the ANGEL Home, you'll see in the Courses nugget that the course is no longer Disabled.
