LAMS & IMS Learning Design
Just did some reading about another activity based learning system called LAMS, developed at Macquarie Uni. Like Moodle, it seems to be based around social constructivist ideas - there’s lots of links to the IMS Learning Design specification.
Both LAMS and the IMS Learning Design specification have already been discussed on one of the moodle forums. Interesting to note that LAMS is a Java/Flash application, so quite different from Moodle (HTML/PHP). Also interesting to note that Moodle 2 is looking towards the IMS LD Spec!

Moodle is free and open source while lams is not and will cost you money.

LAMS is going Open Source too next year… but still not sure how useful it is as a Java/Flash based LMS. It seems much more focussed on a snazy UI to make it easier to create and structure activities. But this comes with it’s costs…

And now the best of all:
LAMS and Moodle are integrated!
