Figure 1. An example of different possible learner areas

• Viewing the number of online learners for

the lesson at each time

• Viewing the total number of learners doing

each task (online or offline)

• Viewing the total number of learner logins

for a lesson in a period of time

• Refreshing the system to be synchronized

with the sequence status of the current learner

• Viewing the sequence status of the learners

for the lesson.

• Controlling the learners such as opening or

closing gates 1 , forcing the learners to move
to a specific activity (by moving their icon to
the desired activity) or moving out the learn-
ers from an activity or a sequence

• Making minor sequence content changes by

adding or removing particular activities.

A sequence is a chain of tasks or activities for
the learners as defined by the instructors. The
monitoring tasks for a particular sequence are:

• Grouping the learners (performed by the

monitors) Monitoring the learners' progress is an important

aspect of LAM systems. In the traditional systems,
it is constituted from several face-to-face contacts
during the learning period. The learner-related
monitoring tasks include:

• Assigning activities to the groups

• Choosing scribes

• Viewing the overall status of the learners in

each sequence
