Just to add to this, there's work by James Dalziel on different views for LAMS Author. Here's his presentation at the LAMS Conference in Sydney in 2008:


Closing Keynote: New approaches to visualising Learning Designs - James Dalziel [Audio]

We will be working on these visual representations as well, so any comment/feedback is very welcome!

Thanks,

Ernie

I really like the idea of adding comments on top of the authoring view - annotations about what a set of activities might be for or other comments about the way the sequence has been put together.

For example, a role play normally has 4 sections (Background; Pre-role Play Preparation; Role Play Proper; Post Role Play Reflection), so it would be great if you could draw a box around each section and add a text note so you know which section is which - this way, even through there might be several activity tools within a section, you can see the overall "chunks" of a sequence.

I think comments can help convey the educational rationale for a sequence in an easy to digest way - so I hope we can add this!
