Last Updated: March 2026

A Learning Record Store (LRS) is the system that collects and stores xAPI learning data. It receives 'statements' about learning activities from any source — LMS, mobile apps, simulations, in-person events — and provides a centralized repository for learning analytics. An LRS can operate independently or as part of an LMS. Organizations use LRS data to build comprehensive learning profiles, create dashboards connecting learning to performance, and make data-driven training decisions.
