Overview
ISO/IEC/IEEE 39274-1-1:2025 sets an international standard for tracking learning experiences in digital environments using open, interoperable technologies. This standard defines a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data model format and a RESTful Web Service Application Programming Interface (API), enabling consistent communication of learner activities and outcomes to a Learning Record Store (LRS). Under this standard, learning data is transmitted via xAPI (Experience API) statements serialized in JSON, enabling flexible, secure, and scalable data exchange for modern learning analytics and performance tracking systems.
Organizations adopting ISO/IEC/IEEE 39274-1-1:2025 benefit from enhanced interoperability, enabling digital learning activities, tools, and platforms to collect, share, and analyze experiential learning data efficiently across varied systems and contexts.
