LAMS Activities
There are four different types of LAMS activities:
•Informative
•Collaborative
•Assessment
•Reflective

Informative Activities
• Notice Board
• Share Resources
• Spreadsheet
• Image Gallery
• Pixlr
The Informative tools in LAMS allow Teachers to share information with Learners, and (in the case of Share Resources) allow Learners to share information with each other.Informative tools display on the Authoring Canvas with an orange icon.

Collaborative Activities
• Forum Activity
• Chat and Scribe (ss)
• Forum and Scribe (ss)

The Collaborative tools in LAMS allow Learners to team up and solve problems, discuss ideas or share solutions together.

Assessment Activities
• Assessment
• Multiple Choice
• Submit Files
The Assessment tools in LAMS provide a vehicle for sequence monitors to collect Learner responses to a topic.

Reflective Activities
• Question and Answer
• Survey
• Notebook
• Data Collection
• Mind Map
• Voting
Reflective tools ask learners to analyse their own learning throughout a sequence, or alternatively, collects responses from students and asks them to consider trends in the resulting data.
