Program Description

Evolve is the Elsevier brand for electronic health sciences education content, tools and services. Elsevier’s robust, unique and creative implementation of ANGEL in the Evolve Learning System garnered the Elsevier e-Education Products Department a 2007 ANGEL IMPACT Award.

The Evolve ANGEL implementation currently serves more than 800,000 registered users (double the number of users served when Evolve migrated to ANGEL in the summer of 2005) with 10,000 unique course instances. The sheer size of the Evolve ANGEL implementation demands innovative development, strategy and management. The e-Education Products Department has risen to the challenge by developing auto course fulfillment and student self-enrollment capabilities and a course creation wizard that automatically creates approximately 1,100 Evolve courses each month. The department has also extended Evolve content to include testing with remediation, case studies, simulations, lesson plans and curriculum guides that optimize Evolve’s electronic format and ANGEL functionality.
