In2itive Learning Record Store

What In2itive Learning Record Store is

In2itive Learning Record Store is a paid web and API service for storing learning and performance data, then reporting on and analysing the records. It captures xAPI statements created by learning experiences on other systems or processes that support xAPI. Organisations can examine use of learning content and performance resources, together with group and individual behaviour. The LRS can run as a standalone product or as part of In2itive’s learning management system. An LMS, another LRS or another xAPI-capable system can access and query the stored information. In2itive identifies organisational learning and development professionals as likely users, while noting that training providers may not need an LRS unless they use In2itive’s LMS. The company, founded in 2001 and based in Yaxley, Cambridgeshire, offers to discuss requirements and create a custom LRS that can evolve with an organisation. Its LMS API supports creating and updating user profiles and learning groups, assigning courses and retrieving learning-status reports; these are LMS functions alongside the LRS. In2itive describes the LMS as a hosted web solution requiring no software or hardware to buy, install or maintain. Listed standards include SCORM, PCI DSS, an ISO270001 data centre and ICO registration. UK data centres provide continuous manned security and monitoring, CCTV, backup power and fire suppression.

Who it suits

The LRS is aimed at organisational learning and development professionals who need to collect and analyse xAPI learning data. Training providers may find it relevant when they use In2itive’s LMS or need a custom solution that can grow with organisational requirements.

Limits

LRS pricing is on request. In2itive notes that an LRS may not be essential for training providers unless they use its LMS, and connected systems must use xAPI to access or query it.

Getting started

1. Contact In2itive through its website
2. Discuss organisational requirements and a custom LRS solution
3. Choose standalone LRS or use it with In2itive’s LMS
4. Connect an LMS or other xAPI-capable system
5. Send learning-experience xAPI statements to the LRS
6. Access and query records through web or API

Verdict

Select In2itive Learning Record Store when an organisation needs a central xAPI data store with reporting and analysis. It is less suitable for training providers that do not use In2itive’s LMS or systems that cannot work with xAPI.
