Trying out Lams

I have started the first real use of LAMS as a means of extended learning for my group working on the Designing Computer Games module. The idea was for them to see this as an out of class exercise that utilised both forums and chat sessions. As this was a first, I did only get partial success and today we got together in class and carried out exercise in a more formal environment. Though I have made use of LAMS in the past, it has only been as a means of scheduling work, and not really as an online reflective learning tool. Upon my own reflection, I think it will be more appropriate to introduce the environment as class based exercise in the first instance.
