LAMS works well as a stand-alone e-learning system. It can also be integrated with other educational software such as a Learning Management System (LMS)/Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), or Student Management System (SMS).
For example, you could use your LMS/VLE or SMS for general course administration and to provide a central webpage for your course. You can then add a link (URL) from this course page into LAMS for sequences of online activities. When students log in to their LMS/VLE or SMS, one of the links on the course page could read Click here for LAMS activities, and when students click on this link, they are taken into LAMS to choose the relevant activity sequence.
In this example, the simplest type of integration just requires you to add a link (URL) on the course page to your LAMS server. When students click on this link, they would need to log in to LAMS using their LAMS username and password. This type of integration is possible today with almost all web-based educational software.
A more sophisticated type of integration is where LAMS relies on the LMS/VLE or SMS to provide student details to it in the background so that students do not have to log in separately to LAMS. Similar integration is also possible for teachers so they do not need to log in separately to LAMS, and also to make it easier for teachers to author LAMS sequences and add them into their LMS/VLE or SMS course page directly.
Sophisticated integration requires two steps: (1) initial development of integration software to link the two systems, and (2) configuration of this integration software with your local LAMS and LMS/VLE/SMS system. The second step would normally be conducted by your local system administrators (or as part of a services contact with LAMS International technical support please email for further details). The first step is the subject of this page.
This page provides information about the current status of integration (that is, sophisticated integration) between LAMS and other educational software systems. These integrations are either supported by or approved by the LAMS Foundation and LAMS International.Any software that purports to integrate with LAMS, but which is not listed here, does not have any endorsement from the LAMS Foundation or LAMS International.
