Dear Gareth,

I think that this is a real strength for LAMS. When you open a LAMS tool (e.g. noticeboard) there are 3 tabs across the top. The "instructions" tab has a place for you to type 'online' instructions and 'offline' instructions. The offline instructions are for how to proceed with the activity when you have not access to computers. So a chat session can become a 'face-to-face' session, a submit file is simply 'hand in your work', and a share resources task is just about reading a printed out version of the resource (if it was not a video or animation).

Bare in mind that the original lesson author would have to be conscious that the lesson might be off-line. Alternatively, an innovative teacher could do it themself with a little bit of creative interpretation and editing.

I think in the future LAMS activity planner, you will be able to print out that set of instructions quite easily (LAMS guys correct me if I'm wrong).

Hope that helps, feel free to ask more.
Best wishes,
Bronwen
