Program Description:
This required, fully online course was redesigned to optimize ANGEL team functionality – the course builds small communities in the large enrollment class. Its carefully designed assignments – practice tests, discussion forums, module exams – enhance learning. Since the course was redesigned with ANGEL three years ago, the university has tracked “a dramatic improvement” in student grades and the additional benefit of increased technical literacy in the student population.
