xAPI LRS Connector

[pluma]

Description

Admins can generate CSV reports to gain insights into user performance. This feature adds the option to connect an external LRS (Learning Record Store) using the industry standard xAPI.

Relevant user actions will result in xAPI statements being generated and stored. If an LRS is connected, those statements will be transmitted in the background to allow tracking user progress and performance in the LRS.

Implementation Considerations

While xAPI permits for other authentication/authorization mechanisms, this feature will initially only cover Basic Auth and Bearer Auth. More involved mechanisms like OAuth or OIDC are out of scope.

The enterprise LRS Watershed will be used as a reference LRS to test the implementation.

The xAPI website provides a number of open source LRS clients that can be used as reference implementations: https://xapi.com/libraries/
