Today I’ve also set up a test LAMS server, and installed the LAMS-Moodle module to integrate LAMS sequences into Moodle courses. The LAMS server is on a separate machine to our Moodle server, just to demonstrate these things working on separate machine, and it’s all been pretty straightforward to set up. I’ve noticed a couple of ‘odd’ things though (that I don’t think I’m actually going to worry about too much!), firstly that occasionally error messages appear in Moodle saying something along the lines of ‘warning, no such file or directory… \mod\lams\lib.php’, but it all seems to work fine anyway. Secondly, when I’m trying to add a LAMS sequence to Moodle, it doesn’t always seem to show all the sequences I’ve made in LAMS – this could be because I’ve put them in the ‘wrong’ place on LAMS though.
My plans for next week are to get to grips with the IMS Enterprise SDK and try to create a sample student records system to integrate with, so then we’ll have a web service for our Moodle Grouping Module and Grouping UI to call. I am going to make this very lightweight, as it will simply be a demo.
