GrassBlade LRS
GrassBlade LRS addresses some of the major issues that users currently have.If you want to enable tracking of your eLearning content produced in authoring tools like Articulate, Captivate, Lectora, etc. You would need a Tin Can enabled platform like WordPress (along with GrassBlade xAPI Companion plugin) and a Learning Record Store like GrassBlade LRS.
A Learning Record Store (LRS) is a data storage service that acts as a repository for learning data necessary for using the Experience API. The Experience API is also known as “next-gen SCORM” and the “Tin Can API”. LRS is a shift to the way e-learning specifications work. The concept was introduced in 2011, and started public adoption after launch of pre-release version 0.9 of Tin Can API.
Most of the LRS’s are sold by the statements. We understand that it’s tough to plan your budgets with number of statements. And, it really gets uber-expensive if you have a lot of users or courses. GrassBlade LRS is installed on your own server and there are no limits to the number of statements on your server.
- Articulate Storyline (Both TinCan and Non-TinCan packages)
- Captivate
- Lectora Inspire
- iSpring Pro
- DominKnow Claro
- Articulate Studio (Both TinCan and Non-TinCan packages)
- and more
What is safer than owning and keeping the data with you. While most of the LRS available are 3rd party services where data is stored on their servers, GrassBlade LRS allows you to keep the data on your own server. Isn’t that safe and secure?
If you are running a website, it is sure that you already have a server or host. Hosting the LRS on a 3rd party service adds unnecessary additional hosting costs which make other LRS’s expensive. GrassBlade LRS is the most economical LRS available, because you are hosting it on your own server.
GrassBlade LRS was built with eLearning content in mind, especially those built using famous authoring tools like Articulate, Captivate, Lectora, etc. This gives us the ability to better support these widely used content. Though we don’t currently support all features on Experience API. We can proudly say that we do better with these content. For example, if you are using Articulate with Tin Can API, you know that the statements on the LRS are all codes with no meaningful details. On, GrassBlade LRS same statements show with human readable questions, names, and answers as you see on the content itself.
