Presentation Transcript

Slide1: 

LAMS/Moodle (Where are we at and where are we heading…..?) Andrew Logue LAMS International andrew@lamsinternational.com

LAMS: 

LAMS LAMS – The basics Open source activity sequencing tool. Lesson plans turned into digital classes. Simple drag and drop sequence authoring. Encourages peer interaction. Content-less framework – any age/subject/duration. Clear cut, precise monitoring. International community support. Sound Pedagogical Attributes.

Problems: 

Problems Why? Too much emphasis on content, lacking in structure. Active engagement needed from students (not just passive absorption). Let’s have some interaction. Education is not just access to a library so why do we take this approach when E-Learning? A structured ‘flow’ of activities that build towards educational objectives is desirable, but seldom used.
