Saturday 7th July

A second workshop for those new to LAMS V2.0 but with a schools focu was held. See workshop page for more details.

 

**Intended audience for technical strand:

This is a technical seminar and we strongly recommend a solid understanding of object-oriented programming. Since LAMS is a Java based application, Java programming experience is welcome, however, not required.   In the technical strand we will unveil all the technical aspects of LAMS 2.0 and cover LAMS’ modular architecture placing special emphasis on tool creation, using the LAMS tool contract.   After this workshop attendees will be able to follow the LAMS modular architecture to create collaborative LAMS tools.

Prerequisites for the technical strand:

Delegates attending the technical workshop should bring their own laptop. During the conference, participants will receive a LAMS 2.0 Workshop Package with all the software and necessary tools you need to start the technical workshop strand. It is important that technical strand delegates install all the required software and tools before the workshop. If attendees encounter any problems setting up the software and tools, please contact the ernieg@melcoe.mq.edu.au
