BENEFITS TO an LRS?
Project Info
- TYPE: Rapid branching
- YEAR: 2023
- TOOLS: Twine, HTML, Java Script, Storyboard
- SKILLS: Storyboarding, script
- WHY IS THIS DEMO UNIQUE: It allows rapid prototyping for branching and learner centered decision making. This is a sample of a decision tree process, that could be layered with various elements of gamification or data capting.
LRS stands for Learning Record Store. It is a database or storage system that collects, stores, and tracks learning data or records of individuals. The LRS is an integral part of the Experience API (xAPI), formerly known as Tin Can API, which is a specification for capturing and sharing learning experiences across different systems and platforms.
Using an LRS contributes to a more data-driven, learner-centric approach to education and training, enabling organizations to optimize learning experiences, personalize instruction, and support continuous improvement in learning outcomes.
The LRS stores data in the form of statements, which are structured pieces of information about learning activities. These statements typically consist of a subject (the learner), a verb (the action performed), and an object (the learning activity). For example, a statement might record that “John completed a quiz on biology.” These statements can be collected from various learning activities, such as online courses, simulations, games, mobile apps, and even real-world experiences.
For my prototype, I used xAPI expressions and JS to link to Vericity Learning LRS.
