Building a Learning Record Store:

Developing an Learning Record Store (LRS) from scratch is not a trivial undertaking. The first step is to get an in-depth understanding of the complete Tin Can specification itself. When you develop an activity provider, you can use just the parts of the specification you need, and can test against an LRS to make sure you’re doing it right. That’s not true when developing an LRS. LRSs have to be able to handle every possible request an activity provider could send and are responsible for validating those requests.
