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.
Investigating further into H5P, I started playing with the ability to send xAPI statements to our LRS from Moodle. This will give us valuable Learning Analytics when we start using the tool for formative assessments.
The Experience API (xAPI) allows us to collect data about any type of learning experience or activity, but does that mean we should? Should we generate massive amounts of xAPI data for every possible type of interaction and then expect to make sense of it all later? This approach can be costly in terms of data storage, but also in terms of your time.
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.
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.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) professional standards association is on track to release the Experience Application Programming Interface (xAPI) version 2.0 as an international standard within the next six months.
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.
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).
