Hi

A sequence is created in lams authoring. It sits in your workspace, but isn't interactive in any way. You can export it, copy it, save it, much like a file.

A lesson is a sequence at run-time. Behind the scenes it is basing itself off of a copy of the original sequence. It is interactive in that learners can join and participate. It can be started, stopped, archived, and you can export results (student progresses) from it.

What we've been referring to as a container (we use the term loosely), is a moodle module. In this case a lamstwo module 'contains' lams lessons. Note the plural, not too long ago a lamstwo 'container' equated to a single lams lesson.

> Then when I go to the next page I can browse my folders and choose a sequence or create a new one.

That sounds like you're using an older version of the module? The current version displays an 'open authoring' and 'add a new lesson' link once you've added a LAMSv2 module. Clicking 'add a new lesson' brings you to the folder browsing interface.
