Grand Canyon U Adopts Angel LMS

Grand Canyon University in Arizona has deployed Angel Learning Management System from Angel Learning to deliver classes to its students. The university made the switch to Angel after seven years with another CMS/LMS provider.

"Angel is a rock solid company with rock solid products and phenomenal support," said Mike Lacrosse, chief information officer, Grand Canyon University, in a prepared statement. "We converted to Angel in just one semester. We've been through two full semester starts and everything is working absolutely flawlessly. In addition since we implemented Angel, support requests have decreased significantly, and functionality new to us in Angel is helping us proactively build relationships with our students, impacting retention."

Grand Canyon University is a private institution that serves about 18,000 graduate and undergraduate students on campus and online.
