LAMS Advanced Training Notes

• Best to use Firefox
• If you put in a stop point before the end then you can go into live edit and add activities
• You can drag your students forward
• Use the sequence settings to turn on IM
• Time graph can be useful but also doesn't take into account if
• You can export the whole file into a zip file you can read offline in your browser
• You can group students in random groups, by answers or results or by learner choice
• The forums are useful for a short smaller discussion.  What is the value over a chat? Time?
• Use the 'arrange activities' option to get students back on the task of designing and off trying to rearrange the icons
• To ensure you have a final product for assessment purposes make sure you tick 'lock when finished''
• Conditional branching - you can do all kind of tricky things to assess what is happening in the learning and then leading students down different paths depending on needs
• Optional sequences - allow you to give you students choice - you can do any one of these
• You can also put branches within optional sequences - but you'll need to drag them to the canvas first
• You can add up to 2 layers of branching
• Optional activities are great to give students more control over their learning
• Tip: repeat questions either as an extra noticeboard

Questions:

• Can you make a class/group that has more than one class?

Things to test out:

• Competency editor
• Support activities
