| Detail: |
The
Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) is a new generation of
e-learning technology for designing, managing and delivering online
collaborative learning activities (also called "learning designs").
LAMS provides educators with an intuitive visual authoring environment
for creating and sharing sequences of learning activities. These
activities can include a range of individual tasks, small group
work and whole class activities based on both content and collaboration.
LAMS has been used in universities, further education and schools
for several years, leading to a number of positive evaluations (eg,
JISC and BECTA reports). LAMS is freely available as open source
software.
This
workshop will provide an introduction to LAMS, discuss case studies
of LAMS use in universities and schools, and discuss future developments
for LAMS (including the release of LAMS V2 in October, 2006). The
session will include live demonstrations, and trial accounts for
use after the session.
