This document discusses making future-focused platform decisions regarding the Experience API (xAPI) and learning record stores (LRS). It provides an overview of xAPI and LRS functionality, including tracking learning experiences outside of learning management systems (LMS) and correlating learning with performance. The document outlines different approaches an organization can take in integrating xAPI and an LRS, such as using a sidecar LRS for special projects or transitioning from an LMS to a full-featured LRS. It emphasizes starting small with xAPI by publishing content to it and experimenting before making large-scale changes.
