    It is without doubt that the current major and popular technological achievements- Internet, social media and mobile devices- influence dramatically current trends in education and learning. With the rapid expansion of broadband and Wi-Fi connections and the explosion of Web 2.0, learning has evolved to e-learning and mobile learning (m-learning) and is no longer limited to classrooms or books. Learning can nowadays be achieved through YouTube videos, Facebook posts or Khan Academy, part of a vision called Ubiquitous learning, where learning may happen everywhere, anytime and in any way. However, since the content is distributed in various forms, platforms and hosts, the need to collect information for a user, in order to watch his performance, form his learning profile and offer him the most suitable content has arisen. In order to realize Ubiquitous learning and produce valuable conclusions in the form of Learning Analytics, a new specification that tracks the user activities has been developed, the Experience API (xAPI). With the latter, personalized and more efficient learning can be provided, since e-learning can focus on adaptivity, i.e. the adaptation of the learning content to meet a learner’s specific needs, match his learning background or personal interests. Towards these directions we have created an innovative LMS- independent, adaptive learning system that, with the use of Experience API , tracks users’ actions and scores over various educational resources, adapts its content according to the user’s previous actions and provides the instructor with a powerful dashboard to inform him upon his class overall and student’s personal performance. Our learning system contains two stand-alone courses that interact with each other seamlessly, and is augmented with extra multimedia content which can be distributed across different hosts. It changes dynamically the content based on the user’s previous activities and tracks activities from diverse sources. Finally, it comes with powerful Learning Analytics tools to help the instructor evaluate the learning process, the content provided and the performance of the students. Our implementation is ‘platform- agnostic’, totally independent of Learning Management Systems and contributes to the monitoring of ubiquitous learning, where learning is not only formal, but part of our everyday life.
