April 16 Training (SLN Workshop #1 & 2)

Thanks everyone for attending the Workshop #1 and 2 today.
Sorry for the glitch on Angel (some instructors losing their course shell); I guarantee this doe not happen often (this is the first time this happened).
In this training apart from getting an introduction about Angel, you should have learned how to create and add contents to your Angel course. Your object should be that your Course Syllabus and your Course Schedule should be added to your course before you start creating other contents. Ideally, you should be able to complete one module before the next training session which is on June 18.
A meeting schedule has now been established (calendar/appointment sheet from Simon) so that each of you will meet with me and Simon for course development meetings. I urge you to go back to your "A Faculty Guide and Template for Planning and Developing an Online Course" and use that as a reference in developing your online course content. Please bring all developed materials (if not added to Angel) with you on your scheduled meeting to enable us to help you with your course development.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
