The Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) is a new public domain, e-learning platform that enables educators to plan and implement sequences of collaborative learning activities. These 'learning sequences' are analogous to the traditional lesson plans that have always been an integral part of quality teaching. LAMS users can modify, share and/or reuse learning sequences with similar or different content. LAMS was developed by a team led …
