Hi Ben,

Here is the work we did with Oxford on exporting LAMS sequences as IMS LD level A as part of the JISC Tool Interoperability Project.

In our current version of LAMS 1.0.2, we aren't able to export sequences in IMS LD level A. The current XML file that is produced when exporting a sequence is LAMS' own "proprietary" XML schema. In the TIP Project LD section you can read about the mappings between LAMS LD to IMS LD level A.

LAMS 1.1 (the new re-write of LAMS) will allow you to export in IMS LD level A with LAMS extentions, IMS LD level A without LAMS extensions and LAMS LD XML.

Additionally, you can find a lot of materials about LAMS and IMS LD, their differences, similarities, etc in the Foundation's resources page, two that you might want to have a look:

• JISC Report: Review of Learning Design: Concept, Specification and Tools by Sandy Britain
• Activity Tools for Learning Design: Lessons from developing LAMS by James Dalziel

I hope that helps. If you have any further questions or comments, let us know. Thanks,

Ernie
