access to the code.</p></li><li><p><a href="http://www.lamsinternational.com" target="_top">LAMS</a>. At
the time of writing this specification, we were planing to do an
integration with LAMS, which is a tool for designing, managing and
delivering online collaborative learning activities. The LAMs project
is already integrated with <a href="http://www.moodle.org" target="_top">Moodle</a>. We can take advantage of
that integration experience, but we expect to write all the code at
.LRN from scratch, and maybe later work on the integration.</p></li><li><p><a href="http://www.reload.ac.uk/" target="_top">RELOAD</a>. It has an
