If your learners are completing xAPI-enabled learning content elsewhere and you want to track these completions in the learning platform, you can. This means the learning platform can act as your centralised record of learning. This is particularly useful when you're using a third-party content provider that has its own navigation system, such as LinkedIn Learning.
First, you'll need to create a learning experience to represent this content.
Create and configure your learning experience(s)
Create a new learning experience (click here to read about creating LXs). We recommend giving it the same name as the external content it correlates with. When you're setting it up, tick the
Enabling this offers the following. If an xAPI statement contains the verb that constitutes a completion for an object in this learning experience (as specified in the game settings, which you can read about by clicking here) the user will automatically be enrolled and the object will be marked as complete. i.e. if it's completed externally, it's completed in the learning platform.
Note: It's important to note that it's the object that will be completed as opposed to the learning experience. If the learning experience has multiple objects then an enrolment would be created but only that single object within the learning experience would be marked as complete, so the overall learning experience is still incomplete and will only become complete once its completion criteria is met.
Be aware: This feature does not take the visibility and self-enrolment settings of a Learning Experience into consideration. If a user completes a course on LinkedIn Learning (for example), and the corresponding learning experience is set to ‘Secret’ and ‘Allow self enrol’ is disabled, the user will still be enrolled on the learning experience.
