If you want to se some articles on LAMS go to the Resources page on the LAMS International site:

You may also be interested in the LAMS@Macquarie project which has just begun, where we are encouraging the use of LAMS across Macquarie University.

If you are interested in the report on the Macquarie trial Donna Gibbs and I did last year, you can download it from the Higher Education and Training Community Files.

Initially the case study covered 5 higher ed examples and 5 from K-12. Unfortuantely two of the K-12 groups did not complete their trial but we still gained some interesting insights into the LAMS experience.

One of the participants in the trial said that LAMS has a different 'presence'.

This is something we've noted often in observing LAMS classes - there is a different social dynamic - students engage with the online acitivities and talk across the tutorial room - discussing issues online and offline. Online chat merges with face to face chat and each communication space feeds the other. Great stuff.
