Oxford University Computing Services have just finished a JISC project to integrate LAMS within the Bodington VLE http://bodington.org/ This JISC project is described at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=delettip. We have done this with a view to offering a pilot LAMS service at some point in the not too distant future. (As part of the same project, we also integrated the assessment system AMS TOIA with Bodington. Again, with the view to trialling at some point.) We have also been involved with the LAMS practitioner trial and are involved with Greenwich Uni on the Elisa project (http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=elisa&src=alpha) which is looking at generating LAMS sequences targeting study skills for 16-18 year old. These sequences will help students with things like writing essays and applying to Universities. As part of this project we are getting experience of running a LAMS server and also will be examining how the sequences can be reused. I am only peripherally involved with the LAMS work but will try to help if you have any more questions. Adam Marshall -- Adam Marshall: OUCS, 13, Banbury Rd. Oxford OX2 6NN.

It uses a Flash based | API and runs over Jboss and Apache on Windows/Linux. The product allows | students and a teacher to quickly build and track on-line collaborations | in | different combinations. It is quite a different approach to a VLE | experience that is well worth checking out. There is an on-line demo link | that shows how its drag and drop interface works. It pretty powerful and | might spawn some ideas we could use. | | http://www.lamsfoundation.org/CD/ | | Has any one in the community deployed LAMS yet or is considering giving it | a trial? | | Thanks | | Luke Bennett | | The Guardian, Learnthings | Production Manager | www.learnpremium.co.uk | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | Learnpremium, the subscription website for schools, provides a huge range | of content and tools for use in the classroom and at home.
