  1. LAMS - Learning Activity Management System James Dalziel Adjunct Professor & Director, Macquarie University E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE) james@melcoe.mq.edu.au www.melcoe.mq.edu.au Executive Director, WebMCQ Pty Ltd james@webmcq.com

  2. Can Learning Design finally change this?

  3. Background to Learning Design • Various descriptions of the Learning Design approach • “Play/Act” model • A Learning Design (or Learning Activity Sequence) is made up of individual “Learning Activities” • There are three parts to a Learning Activity • (1) Who is involved? • (2) What content is needed? • (3) How is the activity conducted? (tool)

  4. Simple example of Learning Design • Short Example: What is Constructivism? • Week 1: Discussion environment - initial thoughts • Week 2: Review of content and search for websites • Week 3: Small group debates with scribe reporting back to whole class • Week 4: Submit report for marking and comments • Demonstrations: • Student view • Monitoring view • Authoring view

  5. Learner Environment

  6. Monitoring Environment

  7. Authoring Environment

  8. Authoring different pedagogical sequences • Consider a sequence as follows: (1) Consider a question (2) Review content (3) Debate ideas (4) Conduct assessment

  9. Authoring different pedagogical sequences • Consider a sequence as follows: • (1) Consider a question; (2) Review content; (3) Debate ideas; (4) Conduct assessment • How could this be conducted differently? • Fully online over a month (distance e-learning) • (1) Discussion Forum (Class); (2) Share Resources; (3) Chat and Scribe (Small groups); (4) Submit report • Fully online over an hour (in a computer lab) • (1) Live Q&A; (2) Present Resources; (3) Chat session (Class); (4) MCQ quiz (show group average and high scores) • Partially online and partially face to face over a week (tutorial and online tasks) • (1 & 2) Discussion forum and Present Resources; (3) Face to face tutorial debate; (4) Group project submission • Text descriptions of face to face (only) activities (no tech)

  10. Fully online over a month: (1) Discussion Forum (Class); (2) Share Resources; (3) Chat and Scribe (Small groups); (4) Submit report

  11. Fully online over an hour: (1) Live Q&A; (2) Present Resources; (3) Chat session (Class); (4) MCQ quiz (show group ave and high scores)

  12. Partial Online and F2F: (1 & 2) Discussion forum and Present Resources; (3) Face to face tutorial debate; (4) Group project submission

  13. Text Decsriptions for Face to Face (only) activities - LAMS sequence just as descriptive framework - does not “run” the sequence

  14. Conclusion • LAMS is a Learning Design “inspired” system • LAMS development issues contributed to Valkenburg meeting to assist future development of IMS Learning Design • LAMS V1.0 beta is now final and ready for use • Currently at beta 3 release • Seeking development partners for rest of 2003 • Full V1.0 version due early 2004 • For details about becoming a development partner and licensing the LAMS V1.0 beta contact:james@webmcq.comPh: +61 2 9209 4079
