Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Saved changes not reflected when you open it again

This is actually one of those "this is a feature, not a bug" type of issues.

As you might remember LAMS has two stages, an authoring stage (when you design your sequences in LAMS author) and runtime of execution/enactment stage, where using the sequence you designed in Author you create a running copy of it to run it with a course.

The sequence you are actually modifying is the *running* design copy but not the original sequence you designed in Author.

The idea behind this is that if you needed to adjust a running copy you can use the Live Edit feature to modify just the running design but not the original as you might be adjusting it for temporary reasons or because the group you are running it with requires more or less activities/content.

Nevertheless though, in the My Grops folder, you will see that there's a Running Designs folder. In it, you wil find the actual copy you did modified in Monitor.

You could create new lessons using those running sequences as well. And even open them in Author, do some more changes and save it with a different name if you prefer.

Thanks,

Ernie
