Thanks, this is very helpful.

The next issue we have is reusing the LAMS sequence with embedded Moodle will need to be edited for each Moodle class.

That is, students within a class only have read access on that one class. If the LAMS sequence has links to a particular Moodle class, it will only work for that one class.

(Note, I haven't gotten the Moodle integration code actually working yet, so I might be missing something here.)

Is there any workaround or accomodation for this in the Moodle embedding or does it have to be customized for each Moodle class?

If I've read this right, you're wondering whether a Moodle activity in a LAMS sequence has to be 're-inserted' by a teacher when it is used in a different Moodle course?

I think the answer is no. LAMS does a lot of duplication of the moodle activity - when you preview the sequence, when you create a lesson, when you import a sequence - each time, it creates a new instance of the moodle activity. I didn't write the LAMS-side code, but I'm pretty sure it takes into account the course id passed by Moodle when you tell it to 'add lesson'. So it creates a new instance of all the required Moodle activities in the sequence, in the course you're adding the lesson for.

You got it right. Thanks for your response, that is exactly what I needed to know. I'll try to test the development version of this soon.
