In this podcast Joshua Millage and Chris Badgett introduce listeners to the Learning Record Store (LRS) and Application Program Interface (API) for high-level data storage and exchange. For eLearning entrepreneurs, a WordPress learning management system plugin like lifterLMS provides required data storage and retrieval now, and also allows for expansion and compatibility in the future.
What is a LRS? The LRS provides centralized course and student data storage and management, plus report generation, data tracking, and sharing of information and resources with other institutions. API software such as Tin Can API allows one LRS to connect to another LRS to exchange data and resources directly.
Software compatibility as well as system scalability are crucial considerations when evaluating a LMS plugin for your WordPress eLearning environment, so choose a learning management system like lifterLMS that will provide necessary data storage and retrieval now, and allow for expansion and compatibility in the future.
