We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

Rick Humphries (@rickhumphries) recently did a video showing the work his group is doing with ELMS Learning Network, Learning Locker and H5P to transmit activity statements (XAPI) from ELMSLN to Learning Locker. Then it shows how ELMSLN is querying the LRS (learning locker) for what statements a user has passed and then granting badges based on matching those statements.

I think it's flipping awesome and now apparently I need to learn how to do all this stuff for when he contributes it all back to the ELMS community. Worth watching if your interested in seeing how all these things start to plug together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r1gJb6K9A0

Aalso did a post the other day about installing ELMS in one line on digital ocean if you want to play -- https://drupal.psu.edu/blog/post/install-elmsln-digital-ocean-one-line

Really bright future being laid out here.

Now all that's missing is

Now all that's missing is having the course module send xAPI statements. :)

well, and integrating course

well, and integrating course module into all of this :) It might make sense with some of what that vendor is doing in the CIS but we'll see. Ecosystem is really going to start to take shape soon with the UX overhaul.

Sounds really promising

We haven't played with ELMs for quite a while, though currently getting up to speed with xAPI through this [really interesting mooc][http://beta.curatr3.com/courses/xapi].

Aiming to experiment with xAPI in the context of this project, if we can get funded (feel free to vote for us!)

Strong xAPI integration sounds like a good reason to re-engage with ELMs and see if it fits with any of our use cases this time around.

PS - @btopro - really appreciated your recent blog post

you're welcome for the post.

you're welcome for the post. Expect more as I've finished my master's thesis and can speak more openly about the ideas behind our community.

At iMindsX we have been

At iMindsX we have been working on integrating Drupal with Learning Locker for a while now. We created a custom distribution for blended learning, and detailed analytics are very important. Last month, we made the set of integration modules that allows sending xAPI statements to Scorm Cloud and Learning Locker (developed by Matthias van Parijs, Nikos Verschore and Devan Chase) for various actions performed on the blended learning site. The coolest features are video player interaction for Youtube and Vimeo and Quiz integration.

You can find the module here: TinCan API

Any feedback on what we have so far and off course feature requests are more than welcome! We'd like to hear if this is useful for the community at large as well.
