G'Day Translators,
We have a few new features added to LAMS 2.0 this week. There's new Authoring layouts for all tools (except MCQ, Q&A and Vote -we'll have those done in the following weeks). As you can see in the translators website, these new changes make the interface more intuitive and less confusing. In addition, note that you can add files, pictures, movies, etc using the HTML editor by uploading them directly into it. All the content you upload as part of your sequence, *will* go with your sequence when you export it, so this will make the sequence sharing and reusability much easier! Now you will also see that most Activities have a "Reflective" option in the Advanced Tab (while Authoring). If selected, this option allows the teacher to ask the learners to reflect about about the activity they have completed. These reflections by all the learners can be viewed by the teacher in Monitor. This is quite a powerful feature for certain pedagogical approaches. Also you'll be able to note a new addition to the internationalization site (see attached picture). Once you login, you'll see the over all progress of your translation language as well as a link that will show you the latest added labels (if any). Hopefully this will make your work easier. If you have comments or suggestion on how to improve this, let me know. We are now less than a month for release! A really cool thing to mention regarding the translations this week is that Adam Stecyk from Poland has come to work at Macquarie University for another project (not LAMS) but he'll be working with us in the Polish translations as well as exploring ways of LAMS usage in Poland. Adam and I met this week (he's even in the same building!). So, Adam, welcome to Australia, mate!
