You can do the following:

require 'time'
Time.now.utc.iso8601
# => "2015-04-26T20:51:06Z"

You can convert also back from a string in iso8601 format to a time instance:

Time.iso8601("2015-04-26T20:51:06Z")
# => 2015-04-26 20:51:06 UTC

You're probably looking for Time#iso8601. You may need to run .utc first if you don't want a timezone at the end.
