Sending xAPI statements to an LRS without an LMS

I'd like to use Storyline 2 output to send xAPI statements to an LRS without an LMS. It that possible? I have a

I have a Scorm Cloud account and I am familiar with publishing for TinCan (xAPI) and getting that all working in SC. However, what I'd really like to do is host the SL2 course on a basic web host (not an LMS) and get the xAPI data sent to the LRS.

I've searched quite a bit and haven't seen anyone doing this yet. 

I guess it's possible with custom JavaScript triggers and tincan.js, but I was hoping I could use the built-in SL reporting.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Cristina, Mark,  the blogs Andrew posted were very good so I will confirm yes, it is possible.  We developed a platform around this capability where we insert SL HTML5 into mobile eTextbooks and training documentation.  It required additional code development but we capture xAPI data,   both custom and SL generated SCORM/TINCAN to any LRS.  Start with the URL extensions described in here https://github.com/RusticiSoftware/launch/blob/master/lms_lrs.md  

  • Hi Pawan, 

    I'm not sure if folks are still subscribed here, as the post is a bit older - but you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!

    I also wanted to share a link to our Tin Can API documentation.  If your LMS is not displaying what you'd expect, you may also want to test the course out in a site such as SCORM Cloud. It's a standard for LMS testing, and it has a free version for just that reason! This article will walk you through how to test there. 

    Let me know if you need anything else! 

  • HI all ,

    Can I publish the RISE course in XAPI and load it without LMS and store all the xAPI Statements in LRS?
