ANGEL Learning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ANGEL Learning, Inc. develops and markets enterprise e-learning software globally. Products include ANGEL Learning Management Suite and ANGEL ePortfolio. ANGEL may be used to create a virtual learning environment (VLEs) for institutions ranging from elementary schools and districts to higher education and corporate training centers. The company subscribes to a philosophy of openness and community-based product development.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, ANGEL Learning was founded in July 2000. ANGEL Learning and ANGEL LMS evolved from research and teaching experience at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. The initial research system deployed in 1996 became Indiana University's OnCourse. ANGEL LMS was created using the early system concepts and was made more generally applicable and maintainable with a tailorable user interface, flexible backend database integration, and a high performance, reliable component architecture.

ANGEL Learning has grown from a campus-based organization of university researchers and instructors to an established global software provider with ties to the academic community.
