About

xAPI is a standard to store and retrieve information about progress and events related to learning status of an user

The data format is json encapsulated and usually stored in NoSQL-Like databases.

Typical events may include:

A finished course (including a score)
An interaction with interactive material
Viewing or Downloading Materials (reported by edu-sharing)

Some systems that support xAPI include:

h5p
moodle

This is an optional component

Install a Learning Locker on the current server using different ports, or (recommended), on an other server
- Learning Locker Download: https://www.ht2labs.com/learning-locker-community/overview/
Go into your Learning Locker UI and go to settings → Stores and create a new Store
Now, go to Settings → Clients, choose the newly created client for your score, and note the value found at "Basic Auth"
- This will be used as your api key
Create a learning-locker.connectors.xml and insert the following content:

<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">

Important

When an xAPI system is connected, the repository will report any data as listed above. This also contains user id's and their related actions.

Currently, the system will not delete any tracked data. For fullfilling data privacy requirements, make sure that your user id's are already non-related to real user data or manually handle deleting and cleanup
