Hi Moodlers,
As mentioned to you before, on the LAMS Foundation website you can find out detailed information about the LAMS and Moodle Integration.
On there you can find a technical documentation as well as a a simple walkthrough that shows specifically how the implementation is going to work. It's important to notice that these are not photoshoped images, but actual pictures from our own LAMS-Moodle integration implementations.
Any comments and suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you,
Ernie
Walkthrough says (in Overview):
3. Linking to a Moodle activity from within a LAMS sequence: the URL for an existing Moodle activity can be included in a LAMS sequence through Share Resources allowing LAMS to launch a Moodle activity at a specific point in a LAMS sequence.
But Technical documentation say (in 1.1.2):
So which is it? Or is this just as it says: linking ok, "accessing" not?

But Technical documentation say (in 1.1.2):
Note: The integration of LAMS and Moodle
will not support LAMS accessing Moodle tools. For example, if a
teacher wants to run a forum within a LAMS sequence, they must use
the LAMS forum, not the Moodle forum. If the teacher wishes the
students to use the Moodle forum, they should put in a Noticeboard
activity, which tells the students to go to the Moodle forum.
So which is it? Or is this just as it says: linking ok, "accessing" not?
By "accessing" it really means "including". The LAMS forums have different features than Moodle - they allow workflow so that people move through things in a specific way planned by the teacher. You can't embed/include a Moodle forum in this sort of scenario, but you can certainly link to a Moodle forum if you wanted to. (In this case, it would appear in LAMS as a sort of "Resource", not a forum).
I am I right, when i suppose the following? >>
with greetings from germany
- i will be able to develop a specific e-learning module with LAMS -offline- when LAMS is running stand-alone on my computer (as it really does since 50 minutes (really great)
- the i will be able to transfer this course via moodle-ftp and moodle will present the course in the LAMS format to the scholar online ?
with greetings from germany
No, that's incorrect. You need to have both a Moodle server and a LAMS server running online to use this.

Glad you liked the installer
Yes, you can import sequences into any LAMS server. So if you have LAMS and Moodle integrated, you will be able to import them using the LAMS Authoring interface.
If you have a look at Figure 3 on the walkthru, you'll see that you can pop-up a browser window with the LAMS Authoring interface. In there, if you click on File | Import, you'll be able to import your LAMS sequence and then you can use that sequence as your LAMS activity in Moodle.
* the i will be able to transfer this course via moodle-ftp and moodle will present the course in the LAMS format to the scholar online ?
No, probably not this way.
Thanks,
Ernie

LAMS 2.0 vs. Lock Aktivity logic in Moodle
Linear or NON-LINEAR Workflow
and course(sequence) export question
(course-templates/sequences builtin repository and metadata-search)
Jussi,
That's for pointing this out.
Actually -although this might sound like a dichotomy, both are right
You can include Moodle activities in a LAMS sequence using the LAMS Share Resources tool (as shown in the walkthru) or by putting a weblink in the LAMS Noticeboard. However, you are *not* really adding a Moodle Forum as a LAMS activity... that is, it's not a drag-and-drop activity in the LAMS Authoring environment. See getting started guide.
In reality, all you are doing is adding a URL to an activity in LAMS (share resources) that allows you to "jump" to that URL when the activity is loaded.
I hope that clarifies it. Please let me know otherwise.
Thanks,
Ernie

In this posting in the "Learning Design" Book Study, we've been discussing the integration of Moodle and LAMS. Don Hinkelman and the LD fellows have been asking a lot of interesting questions that might be able to help other Moodlers understand LAMS and the integration in general. Thanks Don!
In addition, and by the same token, LAMS has quite a bit of documentation for people that might want to understand how it works.
Thanks,
Ernie

I'd be interested in hearing from others who have successfully got LAMS running, particularly on a Linux platform.
I've just got a LAMS server up and running on a CentOS4 (RHEL clone) platform, but it took quite a while as I found that unlike Moodle, the LAMS install documentation is decidedly still in Beta
I wonder if it's possible to have LAMS running on the same server as Moodle, both on port 80 - has anyone managed to get jboss to talk to Apache via modjk with LAMS?

Have a look at technical document of Moodle and LAMS integration http://lamsfoundation.org/integration/moodle/Moodle_Integration.doc. Perhaps it will help you.

This document does not help... any other simple steps to integrate LAMS into moodle??
G'day Karan,
There's a demo site that shows LAMS2 and Moodle 1.6.3+ integrated. You can go there and test the integration for yourself. The code is still in beta and there are a few bugs left, but we are on them
Nevertheless, the LAMS Moodle Module code is available for you right now if you want to use it.
If you need any help, have a look at the LAMS Community tech forums.
Thanks,
Ernie
