Electronic Course Content Delivery
(ANGEL)

ANGEL Course Sites

The ANGEL system is LCC's course Management system. A course management system allows instructors to post lecture notes, give quizzes and moderate online discussions for face-to-face, online and lecture/Internet (50% online/50% face-to-face) courses. Students can use ANGEL to participate in an online course and to gain access to course materials.

Every section at LCC has an ANGEL course site associated with it that may be used by the instructor. With face-to-face courses, the instructor must let students know if ANGEL will be incorporated into the course. ANGEL can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection with Web browsing software, including computers in the TLC Computer Lab (TLC 100).
