I think we basically agree on the benefits of a tool like Vue. I'm using it for planning three lessons at the moment and what's nice is being able to get an indication at the top level of some of the stuff that get's tucked away in LAMS Share Resources activity, for example. It makes it easier to gauge what to do next.

You can also have multiple sequences on the Vue page. I have one that equates to the technical aspect (what students will do, resources they need), another covering my thoughts on pedagogy (stuff that might be better done in groups, for example) and a third that outlines last year's lesson and my thoughts on it. In an ideal world, this would all get distilled down into a new improved sequence. Let's hope I get time!

Of course, there are problems with Vue as well, in particular limited import/export facilities and, as you say, no delivery mode other than IMS packaging (which I haven't tried). It would certainly be nice to see some of its more useful features appearing in LAMS in due course.
