Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Re: Re: Sequence Home page & 3rd Level of Grouping users

Could you modify the description after the lesson has started?

Not at the moment, but we will in 2.4.1. Only the teacher that initiated the lesson will be able to modify the description.

Additionally, I would like an option for learners to opt not to see this page any more, as you can imagine it can be tedious if you have to come back to the lesson several times.

Also, what you think if we add Progress information to this page as well. Would it be relevant?

As you might have seen in the Moodle2 integration we already display an intro page (in Moodle) which has some basic integration I added a "Completed 5 out of 10 activities" message. See red rectangle below:





Would something similar in the LAMS lesson intro would be helpful?

Thanks,

Ernie

If the teacher that initiated the lesson will be able to modify the description is ok.

It could be used and to anounce something to learners.

I like and the lesson progress like sequences in Moodle.

Another idea is to have a space as a library (e.g. files with additional infomation for study) and a space for communication (e.g. a chat or a forum) like support activities.

The library could be used as additional - further information to the sequence and the communication as a space for metacognitive interaction after lesson completed.

Yes, that will be the way we implement it.

If we implement this with an online HTML editors, then it will be fairly easy to add any type of links to a library, so that would fit the purpose quite well.

Regarding chat/forum... hmm... perhaps we can enable the instant messaging and presence for this page as well, so people can chat in it and see who's doing this at the same time.

Thanks for the feedback!

That is good news!

Yes the idea is that people who attend a lesson from distance would like to have a meta-communication outside of the lesson.

The teacher from the other side could see for example are who are online and attempt the lesson and to give some comments or to know how to manage the groups better later from the monitor side.


Thanks for the effort!
