Angel:  Beginning Fall 2007, our new learning management system, Angel, will be available starting with the Fall 2007 semester. All instructors and students have Angel accounts and will be able to login at http://angel.canisius.edu with their Griffmail username and password.  As with Blackboard, all courses have been set up in Angel.  They are, by default, “Disabled.”  If you do intend to use Angel, be sure to “Enable” your course so students can see it.  Attend an Angel workshop for more information.
