This document discusses collecting learning experiences from anywhere using experience application programming interfaces (APIs) and learning record stores. It outlines the problem of changing skill needs and how people learn informally through work experiences. The proposed solution involves collecting any type of learning using experience APIs and storing it in learning record stores to enable analysis and action. This standards-based approach allows learning to be tracked across devices and systems. Challenges remain in adoption, measurement, and connecting different data sources and systems to gain insights from continuous learning.
