ANGEL Learning

ANGEL Learning and the ANGEL LMS evolved from research at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).{{Cite web |title=CN Stories - CourseNetworking |url=https://www.thecn.com/static/blog/2020/03/angel-learning-blog-series-past-project.html |access-date=2022-10-20 |website=www.thecn.com}} The initial research system deployed in 1996 became Indiana University's OnCourse founded by Ali Jafari and David Mills. The ANGEL LMS was created using the early system concepts and was released by the newly formed CyberLearning Labs, Inc. in July 2000. The company has since changed its name to ANGEL Learning. On May 6, 2009, competitor Blackboard Inc announced that it is purchasing ANGEL Learning with the merger's completion planned for the end of May, 2009.{{cite press release|publisher=Blackboard, Inc|url=http://www.blackboard.com/Company/Media-Center/Press-Releases.aspx?releaseid=1285265|title=Blackboard to Acquire ANGEL Learning, Inc.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090510071509/http://www.blackboard.com/Company/Media-Center/Press-Releases.aspx?releaseid=1285265|archive-date=2009-05-10|date=May 6, 2009}}

The ANGEL LMS is used by K-12 schools and districts, community colleges, universities and proprietary schools to create Virtual Learning Environments for online learning and to offer hybrid or blended (web-enhanced) classes. Corporations also use the system for online corporate training. The latest version, 7.4, was released in April 2009. It is for all students of the United States

ANGEL ePortfolio is used by students to create an electronic portfolio of their digital work. Schools use ANGEL ePortfolio to collect and report on data for accreditation purposes. The latest version, 2.1, was released in June 2008.

ANGEL Learning also offers services such as training, implementation, integration, and application hosting.

ANGEL Learning recently contributed source code to the development of the IMS/GLS Common Cartridge Digital Content and to educational wiki development through a source code contribution to TiddlyWiki.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mfeldstein.com/angels-open-source-move/|title = ANGEL's Open Source Move|date = 11 October 2007}}
