Abstract: Last year, Terra faculty and students were exposed to a course management system, CAMS, that was not effective. The learning community using CAMS suggested to the president that Terra purchase Angel and convert all Terra classes to the Angel CMS. The purpose of this grant is to create a learning community of Angel users who will modify their existing class using Angel and will become mentors for all Terra faculty in the future as the college implements the Angel CMS.
