Back from Indy

We just got back from the Angel Users Conference in Indianapolis. Based on the conversation had at the conference and in the van on the way home to Iowa, it was a great experience for each of us. I think each of us walked away with a couple good ideas for our own classes.

I, personally, plan to work this summer on creating some good templates for unit pages, create a set of good instructions for my students (using the resources Angel has available), have long conversations about orienting students to and preparing students for Angel, discuss training needs, create some quick guides for instructors, and develop more visual interactions for my students.

Hopefully this blog will serve as a good space for our discussion!

Cool! Thanks for setting this up.

I'm glad to hear you think we each found some useful things. I liked 3 or 4 sessions I went to and was disappointed in others.

Clearly there is much potential we have not had any clue about. I am going to try and work on the automated personalization for my class. Wow I may have to think about this.

Is it too silly to ask what the best thing we learned was? I have already set up a meeting with Linda (May 30) and am planning on talking to her about orientation (my best thing) and the conference in general. Anything else I should be sure to bring up?
