Big news today as the roadmap for the development of LAMS - the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) - is announced by the UK Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and its inventor, James Dalziel of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. LAMS is a "software program that allows teachers to design, manage and deliver online collaborative learning activities. They can sequence individual tasks, small group work and whole class activities, and incorporate 'Learning Objects' into sequences where appropriate." A key point of today's announcement is that LAMS will be released as open source software (OSS) under the Gnu Public License (GPL) in late February 2005. More on LAMS. See also LAMS International. This announcement is only to be applauded, and I wish the LAMS foundation success through the development process and after. Thanks, James, for the link.
