Hi Moodlers,

You might be interested in this thread started by Gregorio Rodriguez Gomez in the Spanish community about using Moodle Activities within LAMS sequences.

As I believe we've mentioned before, we've been discussing with MartinD the idea of having a Moodle Tool Adapter, so Moodle activities can be used as native LAMS tools (taking advantages of all workflow perks on LAMS: groups, lock when finished, workflow-awareness, etc).

Although this work is not terribly difficult but we haven't had the resources to get head on with this. Hopefully in the next few months.

However, in LAMS 2.0 you can embed any Moodle activity in a LAMS sequence using the Shared Resources tool.

Simply by creating a Moodle activity and getting the link as it shows in the course page, this Moodle activity will show directly to the students when they reach the Shared Resources tool in the sequence.

If you want to have a look at an example, get yourself an account in the moodle.lamscommunity.org server and get to the MoodleMoot course. Once in there, hit the Moodle Forum within LAMS to see an example. Here's a picture on how it looks for students. The sequence is here for download as well.


As usual, comments and feedback welcome. Thanks,


Ernie
