How to Link Knowledge Guru to an LRS with Experience API

/0 Comments/in /by

Knowledge Guru seamlessly integrates with any LRS compliant with the Experience API 1.0 standard. By connecting Knowledge Guru to an LRS, you can bring player activity in the game into your LRS and track it along with data points from other learning activities within your organization.

LRS options will continue to expand as time goes on, but two of the most well-developed today are Wax LRS and Watershed LRS. This tutorial uses Wax LRS as an example, but the process is equally simple using Watershed LRS.

Out of the box, Knowledge Guru generates Experience API statements for account creation, topic mastery, and when players achieve Knowledge Guru status (otherwise known as completing the game). More detailed statements can be generated as an additional customization.
