[Yr7-10it] LAMS

[Costello, Rob R]

Sort of on the moodle track; has anyone used LAMS?

 

(LAMS=Learning Activity Management System - another open source content
management / courseware solution)

 

http://www.lamsfoundation.org <http://www.lamsfoundation.org/> 

http://www.lamscommunity.org/

http://www.lamsinternational.com/

 

Our investigation seems to suggest that is complements moodle quite
nicely  -  has more focus on the pathway and sequence a student follows

 

We haven't used either, much, apart from a bit of testing, but are in
need of something to support and track many more students attempting
individualised learning in the curriculum model we are planning to
implement next year

 

(Far as I can tell the last link is sort of a commercially managed
process for those who don't want to grapple with the details themselves

 

Their site suggests some sense of who is using it in a big way...I'm
interested if anyone here is?

 

The wiki aspect of the first link is down at present - was working last
Friday though) 

 

Cheers

 

Rob

>From the IAEP (Its an education project - OLPC mailing list)

There is now a scratch plugin for moodle, which allows integrating of
scratch activites directly into moodle...
http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=98510  (free login account
needed to view)

Worth exploring if your school is running Scratch and Moodle :-)

Scratch files are created in the Scratch application downloadable free
from http://scratch.mit.edu/
and there are at least 8000 projects freely available through the
Scratch community, mainly aimed at youngsters,
...or you could create your own!


All cool stuff :-)
