LAMS is inspired by, and heavily based
on, IMS Learning Design and EML. However, LAMS was not designed to be a reference implementation
of either specification - it was primarily designed to illustrate examples such as the one described below.
LAMS is expected to be IMS Learning Design conformant in the future as both LAMS and the
specification evolve to address current IMS Learning Design implementation challenges.
