This use case focuses specifically on information residing in a typical Learning Management System (LMS). The key capability is to generate, store, and exchange learner data at a more granular level than earning the credential. This use case gives means to analyse metadata on the learner journey. It helps to improve platforms and educational resources and can also guide the creation of new educational tools.
Learners produce activity data as they engage in various learning activities using a range of tools. These activities are stored in a learner records storage (LRS), which can be part of a learning management system or a standalone system.
Regardless of the approach chosen by the institution or alliance, learners can track their progress by gathering their own aggregated records from an LRS. The chosen approach should be clear to both learners and educators. Educators can also access these records to see each student’s progress in the same way.
