Subject: Re: [VLES] LAMS


Hi

I contributed to the review of the LAMS system for the JISC e-pedagogy 
programme - some of the feedback is contained in the publication 
'Effective Practice with e-Learning'. You can read the complete case 
study at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/elp_casestudies.html. The case study was 
based on the implementation at Kemnal College, Sidcup. I think all the 
contact details are contained within the case study materials but drop 
me a line if you need any further info.
