Hi All,

I'm currently trying to get LAMS up and running at Sydney Distance Education High School through our new Moodle installation. In the meantime I have been working with a couple of faculties (English and Social Science) to create some sequences using Lesson LAMS.

We have experienced a few technical difficulties and frustrations but we have persevered.

In terms of our environment we are really looking at LAMS as a solution that allows us to give our students a learning environment where their learning path is determined by their needs, learning style and prior knowledge.

However, we also need our teachers to be able to give written feedback on each learning activity particularly for short answers in an English sequence.

I know there are ways of getting around this using Q&A's. I guess what I'm asking is... is there anyone else is a similar situation? I have the sense that LAMS would really take off in the high school environment, or at least in a distance education environment if there was some small tweaking of the features which are key to our functioning.
