Learning is a continuous process, it can be through the internet, in

xAPI is that, all these learnings can be recorded. And the recordings can be

done by sending a secure statement in the form of ‘Object’, ‘Verb’, ‘Noun’ or

“I did this” to a learning record store (LSR), which can be shared with other

LSRs.
