Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Importing IMS package as a LAMS sequence

LAMS can import IMS CP packages in Share Resources as you well point out, so you can play them in LAMS.

However, if what you want to do is export a LAMS sequence as a IMS CP, then that won't fly as you aren't packaging just content but flows of activities.

The IMS consortium has been working on a specification that call IMS Tools Interoperability but so far it has been quite limited to do what LAMS activities do.

A much robust and cohesive approach is the LAMS Tool Contract that also includes the Tool Adapters, so you can import and export sequences of learning activities including tools that run in various LMS (Sakai, Moodle, .LRN, etc).

I hope that helps.
