Roadmap for the development of LAMS

The Learning Activity Management System has generated substantial interest among those working with IMS Learning Design, because it makes it easy for teachers to sequence activities for learners. Unfortunately LAMS has so far not produced IMS LD compliant code. This now seems to be set to change, with the introduction of an import and export features for IMS-LD level A. The LAMS roadmap is as follows: the current period of LAMS beta testing will be completed in October/November of 2004 when the full Version 1 release of LAMS will be announced. In February 2005, LAMS V1.1 will be released, and at the same time, the open source code for this version will be made freely available to the public under the GPL. This release will also include any open source code developed for Government funded projects. Finally, an IMS Learning Design V1.0 Level A import and export feature will be developed for LAMS by July 2005. You can find more information on LAMS at: http://www.lamsfoundation.org/news/future.html
