- LAMS is the first web based application that implemented the entire TBL process. Implements confidence-based iRAT (
including Very short answers, mark distribution/hedging), tRAT, AEs with multiple tools (Assessment with tons of question types, real-time document collaboration -ala Google docs, collaborative whiteboards, Mindmaps, etc.. all of which implement simultaneous disclosing and/or Gallery walks). And of course self, peer and teacher's evaluation with full support for rubrics, CATME peer evaluation questions as well as built-in Sparkplus factors for analysis).
- Need help onboarding?
- Use the Teacher's Guide to get started. Do you want to use and customise it to the needs of your faculty? You are free to get any of the teaching resources and customise them to your needs.
- Need help creating your first TBL lesson, use the TBL Design Wizard.
- But all of my questions I have in my institution' LMS, do I need to retype them again!? You can export them from your LMS and import them directly in LAMS (see IMS QTI). Or export them to Word and import them directly with formatting, images, etc.
- Help with Students? check out the 5 minutes student's guide
- Need analytics? Sure

- Tolerance of SPA and SAPA factors (Chip Chian Neo)
- Do you want to do research with us? We do research and publish papers on TBL and other pedagogies.
- Can I see some TBL modules in LAMS? Check out some of the most popular TBLC modules that you can play as a student now.
- So who else uses LAMS for TBL? Here's a short list of people that we know. However as LAMS is open source, it is unlikely to know all the institutions that use it.
If you would like to learn more:
Try the LAMS demo. You get your own course and some student users that you can customise and play with. Need more students? let me know.
Can I use LAMS with my institution LMS? Sure, we have native integrations with Blackboard and Moodle and all other LMS can use the IMS LTI (that includes Canvas, D2L, Elentra or any of these)
OK, how can I get LAMS for my institution?
Two ways:
1) LAMS is free and open source software. If your university has an IT department, they are able to build LAMS and customise it to their data privacy and technology requirements. As the code and Intellectual Property for LAMS is owned by the LAMS Foundation, it will always remain free and open source.
2) If you don't have an IT department or your IT department doesn't want to administer yet another eLearning platform, LAMS has a commercial company that offers LAMS as a service for educational institutions. We offer LAMS worldwide and comply with US Ferpa, UK GDPR, EU GDPR, SG PDPA, Australia's Privacy Act, etc. As part of the service support and training is also included.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Chelsea
