MacAngel (http://www.macangel.com) has launched the MacAngel Academy, a self-guided learning environment for small businesses that use Apple computers and devices.

MacAngel Academy members have access to short concise lessons that include a video, step-by-step instructions, and a downloadable PDF. Lessons are not only on Marketcircle’s products Daylite, Billings and Billings Pro, but also productivity, small business infrastructure, time management and conscious business building.

To participate, you’ll need a web browser capable of HTML 5 such as Safari 5. Chief Technology Evangelist Marni Melrose says MacAngel is hosted on Engine Hosting’s load balanced cluster to provide speed and scalability, as well as superior Expression Engine compatibility. The online video platform Brightcove delivers the videos.

The price is US$49.95 per month or $549.95 per year. MacAngel’s entire training curriculum will be transferred to the new environment at the rate of three lessons per month.
