Recording Experiences
Learning is a continuous process, it can be through the internet, in
classrooms, by interacting with others or beyond. What’s interesting with
xAPI is that, all these learnings can be recorded. And the recordings can be
done by sending a secure statement in the form of ‘Object’, ‘Verb’, ‘Noun’ or
“I did this” to a learning record store (LSR), which can be shared with other
LSRs.
