The Experience API (xAPI for short) is far more than just an update to SCORM, the popular standard for tracking data from a learning management system. xAPI opens up a whole new world of possibilities for learning analytics. Examples of what real organizations are doing with it in real-life situations make it easier to grasp the scale of this advance and apply the learnings to your own situation.
The Experience API or xAPI for short; is a specification document created by a consortium of learning experts led by the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL), which is a US Government Programme. Whilst the document was being formed its prototype name was ‘project Tin Can’, but these days it is known by its official name, xAPI.
Dans cet épisode je décrypte les tendances en terme de "Learning Analytics" en abordant notamment la question du standars xAPI et des LRS (Learning Record Store).
The Experience Application Programming Interface (xAPI) is a learning technology specification that enables data encoding, transport, and exchange across a wide variety of activities, experiences, and devices.
As part of the development and introduction of xAPI into a large organisation, it can always be a challenge to provide the benefits. I'd like to share with you how I used xAPI with Articulate Storyline 360, published as SCORM and being delivered via a Learning Management System (LMS). The Learning Record Store (LRS) is Learning Locker.
Understanding how the Experience API (xAPI sometimes known as Tin-Can API) is structured is the first hurdle to knowing just how flexible and powerful the xAPI can be.
Megan Torrance uses survey data to assess the current state of xAPI adoption and the differing perspectives among non-adopters, adopters, and providers.
I went to build my own infograph to make it easier to explain, but why reinvent the wheel! Here are a couple of infographs that explaining the xAPI a little easier to understand :)
SCORM has been a constant within the eLearning world. Discover the "new kid on the block," xAPI, and how it is slowly changing the eLearning community.
I'd searched everywhere for a quick reference guide to the xAPI statements that are passed for each library. Having not been able to locate one, below is a collated list of the xAPI statements for the H5P Libraries that support xAPI.
If you’re confused about xAPI, the specification of the future, it might be time to learn more. Let’s take a look at the differences between xAPI and SCORM.
What should you do when you uncover an issue with your live xAPI data? In this xAPI Governance post, we show you how to clean your data when issues arise.
Continuing on with sharing resources created in a recent course I completed on edX, here is a short video introducing how the Learning Record Store (LRS) plays a part in Experience API (xAPI).
Check all xAPI Benefits and track, store, customize, and enhance online learning activities, both offline and online, making things more efficient and easy.
You know that feeling when you get a song stuck in your head? You keep hearing it over and over, but as soon as you listen to it you can let it go. This is kinda how I feel about xAPI right now.
As I often go searching for articles and examples on xAPI (Experience API or Tin-Can API), I figured others may benefit from a list of resources that may also help you getting to grips with xAPI.
By Marjaana Jokinen on February 20, 2019: This is the story of my learning journey teaching myself how to use xAPI. I share resources and xAPI examples that helped me get started.
An interesting question arose at a recent xAPI Camp hosted by The eLearning Guild: “What happened to objectives in xAPI?” We should be able to use xAPI to document successful completion of eLearning, but without statements of learning objectives in the content, this is not possible.
