xAPI, or Experience API, or Tin Can API is one of the biggest developments in Learning and Development. Here's how it could impact personalised learning.
Experience data is an important part of a learning ecosystem, but where it fits and what it connects to can vary widely. Here are a handful of examples.
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.
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.
While there was certainly a big conversation around the strategy of xAPI, there are still many tactical questions that audiences were asking. As a presenter and an attendee, these are the top five tactical questions I heard most from attendees along with some helpful answers and resources.
Augmented Reality? Virtual Reality? What do they have to do with eLearning? When powered by xAPI, these futuristic technologies open our eyes to next-gen learning and training possibilities.
