LAMS Podcast. Listen to the latest episode below.
Listen to the latest Educational Technology Podcast which features the teaching technology called LAMS. LAMS stands for Learning Activity Management System. Allan Carrington, Learning Designer from University of Adelaide in Australia, introduces a cutting-edge concept for taking Blackboard or online learning to the next level. The basic principle is from moving online learning from simply content to activity. Let’s lay aside content and start with activity to allow the teacher to sequence a series of activities of which one is content-driven and one is activity driven. For example, instead of starting out with content or lecture, the LAMS model would ask a question or provide a place for students to wrestle with a concept or question before the content is delivered. It is a concept that is being embraced many places and making its way to the west. To find out more, listen to the podcast with Allan Carrington and Randy Meredith, Director of Academic Technology at Spring Arbor University.
