I am writing random thoughts as they arise during the workshop
- Competencies can now be created in LAMS and mapped onto activities nice. What are the SMS implications here?
- There is a who is online feature as well in LAMS
- Each Sequence has a specific URL now but you need to be logged in as LAMS keeps a record of your learning
- In monitoring teacher can enter any chat live and get it back on track
- Dim Dim is another feature but it has 2 versions one open source which has questionable functionality and a pay for one so discussions with other people will continue.

- A new feature called conditions makes it possible to customise the sequences for specific outcomes. A very nice feature that would need a bit of use to get your head around it.
- Google maps
- Wiki

here is my link for log in to the moodle lams integration site
Talked to James who has been working with Ernie from (Moodle)
Over the next year All Moodle tools will be available in LAMS and vice versa so what to do? Call it LAMSMOODLE?
As well as a number of other applications like Google maps will have a drag and drop interface and be made available in the LAMS environment.
What would I would suggest now goodness this is possible to do either all in Moodle or all in LAMS?
I think the interface of LAMS suites our schooling sector.
So I would suggest we have both options but being well aware of the two environments and using what is best for their needs. But real consideration for the pedagogical impacts and how they address PD and Learning Deisgn.
A new overlay being developed will have templates that will help and the link to this demonstration is at this link. A very smart development.
