The Learning Activity Management System (LAMS) (http://www.lamsinternational.com/) is an easy to use authoring and delivery system designed to support collaborative online learning activities. It can be used with students in tutorials and lab sessions, with distance students, and even in lectures. LAMS provides educators with a highly intuitive visual authoring environment for creating sequences of learning activities. These activities can include a range of individual tasks, small group work and whole class activities based on both content and collaboration. Whether you are a long time user of current e-learning tools, or new to the area, LAMS will release you from administration and propel you and your students to a new level of interaction and satisfaction that has the potential to dramatically increase students' llearning. LAMS is open source software being developed at Macquarie as a new e-learning tool, complementary to WebCT, Blackboard and other online learning systems.
