XAPI (Experience API) is a standard for collecting data about learning experiences that can be shared across different systems. It involves storing statements about learning activities and experiences in a Learning Record Store (LRS) database. The Commons platform could integrate an LRS to collect and share data about user activities both within and outside of Commons in a way that is interoperable with other systems. This would allow functions like improved learning analytics, mentoring support, and community management by providing information about a user's full learning experience. While integrating an LRS presents technical challenges, it is an opportunity to position Commons for the future of educational services.
