Introducing LessonLAMS

LessonLAMS helps teachers create and run digital lesson plans. This website contains everything you need to use an existing digital lesson plan or create your own, and then provide access to your students. For student access, each plan has its own URL, and you can create individual student accounts or provide a unique code for student self-registration.

LessonLAMS is fast, simple and secure - so why not give it a try? You could be running your first lesson in less than 10 minutes!

LessonLAMS is free.

LessonLAMS is a new offering from
the LAMS team, that is designed to

make it even simpler to create great-looking
engaging and content-driven

digital lessons.

We've moved all the features of
LessonLAMS to the cloud,

there's no need to install and administer
your own server. All you need to do is set

up an account and

And you're on your way.

LessonLAMS runs online lesson plans
that can include both written and rich

media content,
as well as collaborative activities.

LAMS steps your students through these
plans step-by-step, then as a teacher you

can monitor the progress of your students
to see where they're up to.

LAMS is best known for its
Authoring environment,

a simple environment where teachers can
drag-and-drop activities

to create these sequences of tasks.

The new LessonLAMS interface shows you
exactly what you can expect from

whatever digital lesson you choose.

The digital lesson plan is show here,

in a graphical representation of the
activities it contains.

You can create LAMS Lesson plans from
scratch, or use a template based on

classic teaching strategies, or you can even
use

pre-built lesson plans

with existing content
ready to go.

You can choose new Lesson templates from the
LAMS Activity planner.

The LAMS activity planner is a collection
of

pre-built templates,

that represent different teaching ideas.

You can customise these templates to
represent the topics you want to cover

in your digital lesson.

Editing and modifying your own LAMS sequences
has been made quicker and easier

with the inclusion of the
LAMS "Simple Editor."

But those who've used LAMS before can relax,
the fully featured authoring environment is

still only one click away.

You can also use your LessonLAMS account

from across the web.

The service integrated with the LAMS Community
[http://lamscommunity.org] which is a

repository of digital lessons from
students and teachers all over the world.

If you come across a sequence embedded
in a blog or anywhere else online,

you can also bring it straight across
into LessonLAMS to have a look.

that's where the "Preview" function comes
inÉ

For a lesson that you've imported or
perhaps one you've built yourself,

you can launch it in a sandbox, and explore
it

from the perspective of one of your learners.

If you
spot a mistake or something you want
to change you can jump back to the

Simple Editor and correct itÑ
No hassle.

When your lesson is ready, Launching it
for your students is really simple.

To give students access to one of your
lesson plans you have two options:

the first method is the simplest.
In this method you allow your students

to create their own accounts.
All you need to do is give them a URL and

an access code.

If you choose the second method, you need
to

provide the name and email address

of each of your learners. Once you've done
this,

LessonLAMS can automatically email these addresses,

and provide the URL and access code
directly to your learners inbox.

They can click on the link and start
working through your digital lesson,

straight away.
