ANGEL will be retired on May 15, 2015, as MSU moves to Desire2Learn for its centrally supported learning management system. Many resources are available to support instructors and staff as they transition courses and groups to the D2L.
For a timely conversion, IT Services recommends any course materials and groups are converted from ANGEL to D2L prior to February 1, 2015, so users can experiment and get comfortable with the new system.
Training
D2L training is available through ANGEL to D2L Conversion Labs, D2L Help On-The-Go events around campus, and in-person topical D2L training.
D2L sessions are also part of MSU Seminars in Research and Instructional Technology December 16-17. Register for this event by December 12.
Additionally, departments can request customized D2L conversion training for groups of 10 or more people.
Help and support
Guides and other D2L help documentation are available, including:
D2L help videos are available by logging into D2L with your MSU NetID, and clicking “Self Registration” at the top of the page.
You can also view topical videos on the D2L Community pages.
For further D2L questions, please call the Distance Learning Services Help Desk at (517) 355-2345 or (800) 500-1554.
