I may be missing something completely obvious here. I'm running Fedora Core 4 with Firefox 1.0.7. I'm a student teacher who is trying to change over from a career in IT to that of a science teacher, and as such, am keen to find open source tools to assist me in my new career. I have an account and can access all the lessons, but seem to be unable to author a sequence. Where do go to "create new sequence"?

E.g. I go to:

TS » CW01 » LAMS » Lola (empty sequence)

I get a button to "Update this LAMS Activity"

Click on it and get a pink box with:
You can only update the name and introduction

I assume I don't have access to a LAMS server to create a sequence?

I am new to this stuff. They don't seem to cover any online learning tools in my teacher ed course, so I am trying to remedy the situation. Do I have to create a LAMS sequence on my own server (which I haven't installed) and somehow upload it? Or do I just go through the sequences supplied?

Thanks
Henry

Hi Henry,

Yes, you do have access to create sequences.

On the "Moodle Integration: Course 1" (http://elche.melcoe.mq.edu.au/moodle/course/view.php?id=2), you are a "Teacher" so you can create sequences and add them to this course.

Once you are in the course:

1.- Click on the "Turn editing on"
2.- On one of the drop down menues that say "Add activity..." click it once and select the "LAMS" activity (that will take you to the LAMS Moodle "author" page (?).
3.- In there you have to options:

3.1 Select an existing sequence
3.1.1 Select a Workspace (or folder) from the drop down menu
3.1.2 Once you select a workspace/folder, all the sequences in that folder will be in the "Select Sequence" drop down menu. Choose the sequence you want to add as an activity for this course.
3.1.3 Complete Name and Description
3.1.4 Click on "Use selected sequence"

3.2 Create a new sequence
3.2.1 Click on the "Create a new sequence" button an LAMS Authoring environment will be displayed.
3.2.2 Go about as crazy as you like create your sequence.
3.2.3 Click on Save
3.2.4 Close LAMS Authoring environment (you'll be back on the Moodle window again)
3.2.5 Click on the "Refresh Sequence list"
and then you are back on "Select an existing sequence" (3.1)

Please let me know if you neeed any further help.

We do acknowledge that there's some work we need to do in the flow, since Moodle works a bit different... but we have had some good suggestions from Josep and Dirk (http://lamscommunity.org/dotlrn/clubs/technicalcommunity/forums/message-view?message%5fid=15743) and we should be on the right track.

Thanks,

Ernie
