Today Learning Locker represents the UK’s national Learning Records Warehouse (as provided by Jisc), with open APIs to interface common data sources and commercial or open-source dashboards, analysis tools and apps. This centralization helps to de-risk adoption by universities, reducing the cost of sales and barriers to innovation for vendors, and creates a globally unique big data source for benchmarking and research into modern blended HE.
Over 50% of UK universities have expressed firm interest in placing their data within the LRW; data from around 50 universities is projected to be in the LRW by the end of 2016/17 academic year.
