Philosophy & Vision


We at ANGEL Learning Believe…We at ANGEL Learning Believe…

It’s a new era. Only now is teaching and learning technology realizing its true potential to advance education.

Educators with real insight and experience are driving new expectations for advancement.

New, more effective criteria are emerging and are much harder to achieve.

ANGEL is determined to deliver on this criteria and to serve the customers focused on this exciting potential.


Emerging Criteria: How ANGEL Delivers Emerging Criteria: How ANGEL Delivers

Keep technology in the background Usability – common conventions without clutter Openness – flexibility with adherence to technology standards Maintainability – customize without sacrificing upgrade path;

achieve scale economically Extensibility – “bake in” the ability to extend; utilize to

embrace key technology changes


Expanding Vision: Provide Program and Institutional Views

Expanding Vision: Provide Program and Institutional Views

More of the same, but expand the audience

Program/institution or district/school perspective

• How is my school/program doing?

• What methods are working?

• Where are the opportunities?

• How do we communicate progress?

“Observer” perspective

• How is this school doing?

• Are they taking action? Make learning standards and objectives a natural part of everyday teaching and learning – not an extra step
