2010 LAMS Sydney Conference: Sharing Great Ideas

Conference Themes

 

The main theme for the 5th International LAMS & Learning Design Conference was Sharing Great Ideas. The conference provided delegates with the opportunity to discuss open resources, technology and teaching practices in education and how they might relate to Learning Design.

What tools, pedagogies, teaching and learning strategies do we need for the future? Where does LAMS fit within the new models? What can experience with LAMS tell us about teaching and learning? How is LAMS shaping up? What are the challenges for individuals and organisations? Where will Learning Design standards take us now? What can we learn from efforts to create generic learning design patterns?
