Noticeboard
|
The Noticeboard Activity provides a simple way of providing information and content to the learners. The Noticeboard in LAMS 2.0 supersedes both the Noticeboard and HTML Noticeboard tools from LAMS 1.0. |

Noticeboard Activity Authoring
All properties sheets contain three tabs:
- The Basic tab controls the content of the activity.
- The Advanced tab controls how the activity behaves.
- The Instructions tab allows authors to comment on the activity itself.

Noticeboard Monitoring
Summary Screen
Double Clicking a Noticeboard activity on the Sequence or Learners tab opens the Summary Screen for the Activity. This screen displays the Noticeboard content (ie: the text displayed to learners in the sequence) as well as the number of learners that have started the sequence (ie: Total number of learners) and how many learners have viewed the Noticeboard (ie: number of learners in group). |
Instructions
In the Authoring Environment, Authors can use the Instructions Space to attach support files for a specific activity, or leave comments for other Monitors about how a given activity should be run. When adding instructions to Noticeboard activities, Authors may like to include supplemental information that teachers can use in an offline setting environment (eg: Blackboard points, worksheets, etc.) |
Edit Activity
Clicking the Edit Activity button opens a new screen identical to the _'Basic'_tab in the authoring environment. In the current version of LAMS (2.0.4), Editing can only be performed on activities that students have not yet reached.
Unlike Live Edit, this form of Editing can only modify the content of an activity, as opposed to the structure of a sequence.
Statistics
The Noticeboard Summary tab repeats the statistics on Learner numbers found on the Summary tab.
