Abstract
Towards a novel and LMS-free Pervasive Learning System exploiting the Experience API
Highlights
As mobile devices gain constantly popularity and conquer our everyday lives and habits, online learning has shifted from traditional LMSs (Learning Management Systems) to an everyday and everywhere process [1] [2] [3]
With the use of the SCORM model, the learning content is packaged into a format which can be transferred through various Learning Management Systems (LMSs) [5], [8], [10] accomplishing interoperability, and reusability, traceability and longer lifecycle
In xAPI, though, learning activities or contents can be totally independent of data formats [18], as simple web content can be a learning activity and libraries or applications implementing the xAPI specification can provide the infrastructure for the delivery of the statements to an Learning Record Store (LRS)
Summary
As mobile devices gain constantly popularity and conquer our everyday lives and habits, online learning has shifted from traditional LMSs (Learning Management Systems) to an everyday and everywhere process [1] [2] [3]. The available educational resources should be able to communicate with various distributed backend repositories of learning actions, using a standardized protocol and vocabulary The exchange of such information should be possible between the repositories, so a common knowledge base of individual learning activities is built. Our xAPI enabled application does not need the setup and configuration of an LMS and users only use their email in order to enter a personalized course This is achieved by employing the JavaScript libraries which implement xAPI to store and track learning activities. This article extends our work described in [9] In the latter we had presented an LMS-free Learning System based on xAPI that captures learner’s activities and automatically modifies the learning path of a course according to the learner’s history.
