Can LAMS be used for blended learning (ie, a combination of online and face to face tasks)?
Yes – this is one of the most powerful applications of LAMS. For example, you could run some synchronous activities with students in a computer lab, and from time to time stop the online activities, and comment on these in face-to-face mode and/or get students to discuss certain issues face-to-face (rather than online). Another option for blended learning is to use LAMS for online activities prior to a face to face class/tutorial, potentially followed by further online activities after the class/tutorial, eg, using LAMS in preparation for an excursion of similar face to face event, with online followup activities after the face to face activity.
