Had almost an all day meeting with Ernie from LAMS today which was very productive, and I now have a much clearer idea as to what we are doing within the scope of this project, especially for the coding that we need to do, the architecture, the APIs etc. I need to get the notes from this meeting written up into a proper document and include the whiteboard diagrams (scrawls?!) we came up with. Once I’ve got this written I’ll post a link up so everyone can have a look.

These are some of the areas we should be able to get started on next week:

• Sorting out which IMS Enterprise Service to use – need to contact Sam Easterby-Smith about this
• Set up a project on Sourceforge to store our code for the Moodle Group Module
• Find out more about how to create modules with Moodle
• Install the LAMS module for Moodle so we can have a play with this
• Define more use cases
• Start thinking about how the user interface for setting up the groups would look
• Contact the MINTED group (another JISC funded project under the demonstrator strand) at Sussex Uni, as they are looking at doing very similar work, and we don’t want to duplicate effort.
