What’s the catch?
There’s no catch. We wanted to provide free learning record store software for those just getting started with xAPI. But, a standalone LRS doesn’t do much good, so we also added a basic reporting layer to help visualize your data.
Essentials was designed to get you started with xAPI or learning analytics. Use it as a:
- fully xAPI-conformant repository for your data until you’re ready to use it
- test engine for your xAPI content or data
- snapshot view of organizational learning and activities
- stepping stone to getting started with learning analytics
