Abstract

In education, learners no longer perform learning activities in a well-defined and static environment like a physical classroom. Digital learning environments promote learners anytime, anywhere and anyhow learning. As such, the context in which learners undertake these learning activities can be very diverse. To optimize learning and the environment in which it occurs, learning analytics measure data about learners and their context. Unfortunately, current state of the art standards and systems are limited in capturing the context of the learner. In this paper we present a Learning Record Store (LRS), compatible with the Experience API, that is able to capture the learners’ context, more concretely his location and used device. We use ontologies to model the xAPI and context information. The data is stored in a RDF triple store to give access to different services. The services will show the advantages of capturing context information. We tested our system by sending statements from 100 learners completing 20 questions to the LRS.
