xAPI

Note: These settings are configured during implementation and should typically not be changed or disabled. Changing these can result in a gap in xAPI data or misidentification of users.

The LXP supports the generating and sending of xAPI statements to any Learning Record Store.

Endpoint, Key and Secret will come from your LRS configuration.

The next settings define the data xAPI statements will contain to identify the user. Generally speaking this allows them to be identified by either their email address or another unique identifier.

Actor Type has 2 options “User Email” and “User Account”.
This controls the type of xAPI actor (IFI type is the technical term here) used.
Selecting “User Email” will result in statements which have an mbox type actor:

"actor": {
"objectType": "Agent",
"mbox": "mailto:firstname.lastname@learningpool.com",
"name": "Firstname Lastname"
}

With “User Email” selected, “Actor Name” and "Actor Homepage" are unused.

Selecting “User Account” for the Actor Type will result in statements which have an account type actor of the following form:

"actor": {
"objectType": "Agent",
"account": {
"name": "ACCOUNT NAME",
"homePage": "ACCOUNT HOMEPAGE"
},
"name": "Firstname Lastname"
}


The Actor Name and Actor Homepage options control the internals of the account part of the actor, ain the example above these are sown as ACCOUNT NAME and ACCOUNT HOMEPAGE.

The Actor Homepage setting defaults to the LXP URL.. This is meant to describe where this user is logged in to, which would be the LXP.

Actor Name has the following options, “UUID”, “Username”, “Email” & “Org Reference”.

  • UUID is a randomly generated ID string like f5595e70-46f4-4df8-7766-eff2d2d5cb8a, each user will get their own unique identifier.
  • Username will take the Username as set for the user in the LXP.
  • Email is as it sounds. This is still an account type actor, but the name of the account will be their email as stored on the user in the LXP. The LXP doesn’t enforce unique emails across LXP Users so there could be clashes between users making them look the same on the LRS side.
  • Org Reference is copied from the field set on the user profile. If none is set for the user it will fallback to UUID. We recommend the use of SSO ID or Username over Org Reference.
  • SSO ID will take from the users SSO ID, tis option is only visible if you have SSO configured.

 

Statements

The generation of types of xAPI statements can be disabled. Disabling statements that are not needed can reduce storage requirements and improve performance of the LRS.

 

 

CSS

This page allows you to customise the CSS of your site.

Note: CSS added here may not be compatible with future platform releases. Class names are generated dynamically and are subject to change with each release.

 

 

SSL

Note: We strongly recommend having the SSL setting enabled at all times.

Enabling this service will force your organisation to run exclusively over a secure protocol (HTTPS). Please note that embedding non secured web pages (e.g. http://example.org) will require your users to open this content in a new window or tab.

 

 

Security

Customise the following options:

    • Password difficulty
      • This will change the password requirements for users to an 8 character minimum with at least one number (e.g `2`), one character (e.g `a`), and one symbol (e.g `$`)
    • Enable account lockout
      • Users will be locked out for a given period of time after the number of failed logins reaches the lockout threshold. A successful login resets the count.
    • Customise Account lockout threshold (default 5)
      • Select number of failed login attempts that result in account lockout. This feature may be abused in denial of service attacks.
    • Account lockout duration (default 1 min)
      • A locked out account is automatically unlocked after this duration.

Learning Record Store

Note: These settings are related to functionality provided by a Learning Pool Learning Record Store, not 3rd party platforms. xAPI statements and 3rd party LRS are configured in the xAPI service.

URL / Key / Secret: You will need this information from your LRS.

Update Type: This option controls when we update the statement forward in Learning Record Store. This has impact on performance in the platform. The options in more detail are:

  • Update on save
    This will save the statement to Learning Record Store when an object is saved in the Learning Experience settings, the system will wait until this is done.
    Worst performance
  • Update on save in the background
    This will save the statement to Learning Record Store when an object is saved in the Learning Experience settings, the system will do this in the background.
    Good performance
  • Update on the schedule
    This will save the statement to Learning Record Store every 5 minutes and take into account all new objects, the system will do this in the background.
