Elearning authoring tools expert and developer Pankaj Agrawal shares how you can use LifterLMS with SCORM, xAPI, and LRS content to support your LMS website in this episode of the LMScast podcast. Most course creators work with video, audio, text, and images as their main media formats for learning. But as you’ll learn in this episode, there are many other options out there for interactive content you can connect to LifterLMS via GrassBlade xAPI.

You may have heard of the GrassBlade xAPI tool on the LifterLMS store or in the community, but GrassBlade is an ecosystem of separate products and features that allow you to host advanced eLearning content inside WordPress. Articulate and Captivate are tools that allow you to make interactive videos and download them as zip files. Then you can use GrassBlade to upload that to WordPress.

Then with the GrassBlade tool, you can add that content into LifterLMS courses and lessons and have quizzes embedded from your eLearning authoring platform inside your xAPI content. Then that data can be found in the LifterLMS reporting system.

There are a few advantages to using a third-party system to host your eLearning content and porting that in via GrassBlade xAPI. One of those is that you can more easily migrate in the future if you change LMS platforms. Your content would still be the same format with less copying and pasting work for changing platforms. Another advantage is the ability to set progress triggers in a more intricate way. You can mark a lesson as complete after a student has completed a certain number of slides or a certain percentage on a quiz within your iSpring or Articulate content.
