It depends on the tool. If all that is required to use the tool is a URL link to it from within LAMS (eg, to a federated search tool), then you can do this now using the URL pointer in the LAMS “Share Resources” tool. If the external tools needs to know who the person is that is being sent to it (eg, a discussion forum), then at the moment it is not possible to integrate this tool. In the future, LAMS may provide a feature for authenticating into external tools of this kind, but in many cases unless the tool is built to allow external use, then there may be additional problems with integration (this problem exists with most current LMS/VLE/CMS tools).
