I think what you are proposing is a step in the right direction. The most logical way of operating, it seems to me would be being presented with the choice at the very beginning: what do you want to do? a)use an existing learning sequence? b) build a new learning sequence based on an existing one? or c) create a totally new learning sequence from scratch?.

With the mock screen, things have improved considerably but for some users it might still not be totally clear that you can create a new learning sequence based on an existing one. I know, I know. The manuals make it clear that you have these three options and they would provide guidance as to how to do it, but from a usability perspective, this should be as straightforward as possible even for those who have not read the manuals.

Yeah, I think that'll be a winner. Give me a few days to come up with an improve UI that addresses this properly.

Like me ;-)

Thanks,

I just tried the Moodle-LAMS integration and was also initially confused
by the offer to pick an from some existing activty sequence or to create some new sequence. Since this is a Moodle Topics course format, I was just assuming these would be new activities, starting from blank.

However, if presented with more context of what I was picking from, like it was a bunch of intro algebra activities or maybe some basic biological science concepts, perhaps it would make more sense.

I would, still, suggest that a clear separation of the usages into "blank slate" and "existing sequences" would be more profitable.
