Ernie, you say

"Nevertheless, you can use .LRN/OpenACS tools as part of LAMS sequences...In addition, you can still monitor these .LRN activities in LAMS Monitor to see how your students are progressing thru the sequence (although the .LRN tools aren't not part of LAMS)"

Does that mean that mean that forums, photo-album, faq and lors have now "a sense of state" or how do you figure out the state?

how do you figure out the state?

What I meant to mean with state is basically how the tool behaves given a certain situation. So for instance, take .LRN Survey. Once a student has attempted Survey, you might not want to give the option for the same student to retake it (survey is now finished/completed). So if the student reattemp it again, survey will behave differently.

So forum, photo-album, faq and LORS might not necessarily need (in some cases) to be aware of state. Therefore you can still use them, being aware of the limitation.
