Abstract :
The new ADL Experience API is an attempt for better interoperability between different types of educational systems and devices. This new specification is designed to link sensor networks for collecting and analyzing learning experiences in different contexts. This paper analyses how the concepts of the Experiences API were integrated in a mobile learning application and how the app uses learning analytics functions based on the collected data for informing the learners about their learning performance, for encouraging them to actively use the app, and for orchestrating and sequencing the learning resources.
