- LAMS is a learning design system used by thousands of educators to create sequences of structured learning activities for students. It can integrate with learning management systems like Sakai. - The presentation discussed new features of LAMS 2.3 including improved speed, new tools, and deeper Sakai integration. It also introduced the LAMS Activity Planner which will provide templates and guidance for designing learning activities. - Looking ahead, deeper integration between LAMS and Sakai is possible, as well as potential integration with other systems through common standards. This could improve the user experience and reuse of learning content.
