WAOL Council Meeting Monday, November 17, 2008

Agenda Elluminate Check In ANGEL Timeline Winter 09 Pilot Training Update Proposed DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT Cost Model Domains and admin access Next meeting

Elluminate Feedback on WACTC meeting or other demonstrations Place on ELC wiki for policies http://wadlc.wikispaces.com/WAOL+Council+Ellum inate+Links Elluminate v9 available, but maybe not completely ready Issues? Questions?

WAOL Blackboard to ANGEL Phase One: July 08 through March 09 Everything currently supported by WAOL moved from Blackboard to ANGEL All current WAOL users got ANGEL account October Not a current WAOL user? Self-registration —gives instructor account and practice classroom Training focus on experienced Blackboard users who are moving to ANGEL Continue to use existing WAOL processes (WAOL ID numbers, Intent to Teach forms, etc.)

WAOL Blackboard to ANGEL Phase Two: March 09 through June 09 Services new from WAOL Implement individual college domains and admin access Setting up domains now Testing admin access and branding now All training in ANGEL—next training course starts December Training for ePortfolio (which is available in every classroom now—just no training)

Instructor Accounts in ANGEL All instructors who were active on WAOL Blackboard since Fall 07 have ANGEL instructor accounts with practice classrooms All accounts will be created with the WAOL prefix waol_ first initial last name These are practice classrooms that are not linked to any existing WAOL classrooms

Instructor Accounts (cont) College ELCs will receive a flat file that can be used to create instructor accounts in WAOL ANGEL. The user IDs created by these files will have the college prefix (bates_first initial last name….yvc_first initial last name) Be aware of the potential confusion when some instructors get multiple accounts. Practice classrooms are not named for teaching—teaching classrooms will be designated by quarter/year.

Instructor Accounts (cont) Self-registration process Gives instructor-level account and practice Requires a coupon code that will be managed by college ELCs Link and code sent to ELC

Course Migration Instructors teaching on WAOL ANGEL for Winter 09 have received a named classroom for Winter WHO will be teaching on ANGEL Winter 09? All instructors with system-owned shared classrooms Fall pilot instructors if they choose New pilot instructors

Guest Account for all Courses? Okay with everyone to automatically create a guest account for every classroom?

Winter 09 Pilot Deadline October 24 Winter pilots CLOSED

Why a deadline for Winter 09? So colleges don’t start to enroll students without the WAOL ID number So instructors have time to work on ANGEL classrooms So WAOL staff can get Winter 09 set up and continue to move forward on other migration tasks

Content Migration Instructors can export Blackboard (or other CMS) content from existing classrooms and migrate into ANGEL classroom OR they can build the new ANGEL classroom by bringing over content piece by piece WAOL staff will help if faculty have trouble exporting content, but it’s easy.

Training Update The job search to rehire a faculty trainer will close November 21. Materials and training opportunities: http://www.waol.org/faculty_and_staff/angelSupport.aspx If you have other materials or opportunities to share, please let us know and we’ll post. Additional materials Training/orientation sessions in Elluminate Regional face-to-face training

Expert Support for Faculty Hired Jesse Sims half-time through Lower Columbia College Jesse will work individually with instructors and provide advanced ANGEL expertise. jsims@lowercolumbia.edu

DRAFT PROPOSED Cost Model This is a draft, a proposal—not approved by anyone yet. Proposed cost model starting Winter 09 $2 per user per quarter, active in one or more Angel courses Based on how WAOL pays ANGEL Eportfolio and community groups free if colleges using WAOL to support online courses One guest account per classroom free Faculty will be charged as active users (if they are active) Only active accounts get charged (so you can upload everybody)
