  1. IMS Learning Design / LAMS • Reporting on outcomes of CETIS Learning Design Workshop, October 2003 • What is Learning Design? • What is LAMS?

  2. A Brief History ….

  3. 1996 • 1996 Educom founded as a membership organisation, with focus on developing specifications/ requirements for what were then called learning management Systems (LMS). • Driven by USA Instructional Design ideas, grounded in corporate training • Single unified specification document for systems

  4. 1997 • Educom renamed as IMS • UK HE community become involved with JISC joining as a member organisation, and formation of UK IMS centre @ Bangor. This project grew into CETIS • Joined by HE representatives from (amongst others) Netherlands and Australia

  5. 1998-2001 • Rapid development of systems and specifications (not necessarily in that order) • Single unified specification rejected as too unwieldy, replaced by numerous working groups focussing on different areas, assessment, course management, pedagogy etc. • Emergence of VLEs

  6. VLEs • Mass market systems • Understood by management • Content and test pedagogy based on ‘instructional design’ paradigm • Widely adopted by business and education • Rapid development of systems and corporations which developed them

  7. 2001-present • Alongside the development of VLEs there was also a movement to develop systems to support more complex pedagogies. • lead from OUNL, with the development of EML. • Core model is multi learner system, People plus Activities, with support by content and assessment possible but not focus. • Control of pedagogy passed from system designer to activity designer (Joe lecturer)

  8. 2001-present • OUNL develop and use EML players • EML is adopted as the basis for IMS Learning Design Specification, taking on board lessons learned by OUNL • EML includes elements which duplicate existing IMS specifications (QTI, LOM, LIP). • Learning Design is therefore a simplified EML, concerned only with pedagogical design

  9. Learning Design • People (roles), what they do when learning (activities), where and how they do it (services) and what resources (learning objects) they need • No pre-defined educational models, Learning design is a meta model which can be used to describe many different pedagogies • Learning scenarios can be re-used and re-purposed for different roles and with different resources

  10. Allegedly ….. • There are to date no reference implementations of Learning Design • Which brings us to LAMS ….

  11. LAMS (learning activity management system) • ‘Inspired’ by Learning Design • Implements many of the ideas of IMS LD • Commercial system developed by the Australian Company WebMCQ • Currently Beta, released only to a small audience • Might be released in the future under an open source licence … if so may form the core of future (commercial) learning design developments
