Self-hosted xAPI LRS?

Jul 01, 2021

Hi,

I know this falls a bit outside Storyline but as it's related, does anyone have any experience / tips hosting your own xAPI LRS? Unfortunately, due to compliance, we can't use services like SCORM Cloud and have to host it ourselves.

What we would need is a server (preferably AWS) accepting xAPI calls, have user management and per-client reporting (Chinese wall between projects). If the content is hosted elsewhere, we wouldn't need fully-fledged LMS, right? Just LRS?

We would be using Storyline to create content which talks to the LRS.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
PJ

Hi,

You can try GrassBlade LRS that you can easily install on your server that can run PHP/MySQL.

Thanks Saurabh, I've managed to install Learning Locker onto AWS without issues.

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Hi PJ,

Veracity also has a free version. Veracity Learning (https://lrs.io) also recently added hosting options as well. So if you don't have an LMS and you also don't have a web server to host your content, this is a simple and affordable alternative. It also provides a way for you to add learners and a login capability that you would normally expect in an LMS.
I recently posted a tutorial on how to use this feature (if you're interested): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWahlopyA3I
