In this paper we discuss the implementation of the LAMS Tool Contract to include Moodle learning activities within the highly visual context of the Learning Activity Management System (LAMS). We aim to show how learning tools, from different Learning Management Systems, (LMS) can be included in a visual learning design environment such LAMS using a common interface (LAMS Tool Contract). In addition, we present an example of tool interoperability where learning activities can be used in complex and sophisticated learning designs using LAMS.

Cloudworks is a specialised social networking site for sharing, debating and co-creating ideas as well as designs and resources for teaching, learning and scholarship in education. The site has been co-funded by JISC and The Open University, and has ca.2500 registered users and visitors from 165 countries (May 2010). Fundamental to the development of the site has been the belief that one of the key challenges in encouraging more innovative learning design is getting teachers to share designs and ideas. Despite the fact that there are numerous repositories of good practice, case studies, learning objects and Open Educational Resources (OER), their impact on practice has been limited (McAndrew and Santos, 2008). Yet in interviews and workshops, when asked what would they find most helpful to enable them to make better use of technologies in their design practices, teachers consistently say that they want examples of good practice and access to others to share and discuss ideas with (Beetham and Sharpe, 2007). This paper will explore how Cloudworks might be used as a ‘pedagogical wrapper’ for LAMS sequences, supporting the sharing of ideas across professional boundaries and facilitating collaborative design, evaluation and critical reflection.

This study presents a pilot evaluation study of LAMS performed by Greek Computing teachers. The aim of this study is twofold: to investigate the usability of LAMS as a whole context of tools as well as to evaluate a specific learning tool -entitled the Questions &Answers Cognitive Skills –Wizard (Q&A CS-Wizard) - through the lens of the aforementioned teachers. This tool is integrated within LAMS for the improvement of the creation of questions to encourage the development of students' cognitive skills. Seventeen Computing teachers participated in a learning design experiment for the design of lesson plans using LAMS. The analysis of the data shows that those teachers’ lesson plans were improved -through the use of the Q&A CS-Wizard within LAMS- when compared with their lesson plans designed without the use of this tool. Positive views also expressed by these teachers about the usability of LAMS and the whole experience they acquired during their participation in the said experiment.
