External content

The module enables a teacher to create a resource using the text editor. The resource can display text, images, sound, video and web links. Advantages of using the External content module rather than the standard page module is that optionally if the content links to an external site that records a completion status these can then be imported.

With release 1.6 the module now supports XAPI Tracking, the module  implements basic LRS Statement API functionality.
This allows an  Activity Provider (AP)  to send statements for External Content Activity items, that can be used to set the Moodle Viewed status, External Completed status and scores for the item.
The External Content Activity items need to be configured to be marked completed externally when created.
The xAPI statements are not saved to Moodle, but processed on receipt.
