13. Step 1: Connect to the LRS

14. var conf = {
"endpoint" : "https://cloud.scorm.com/tc/CJ0NK8AJKV/sandbox/",
"auth" : "Basic " + toBase64('jeffbatt@gmail.com:DevLearn17'),
};
ADL.XAPIWrapper.changeConfig(conf);
Breakdown - Connect to LRS

15. Step 2: Sending the Statement

16. var statement ({
});
ADL.XAPIWrapper.sendStatement(statement);
Breakdown - Send statement

17. var statement ({
});
ADL.XAPIWrapper.sendStatement(statement);
Breakdown - Send statement
