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.
cmi5 is an xAPI Profile that bridges the SCORM and xAPI divide by specifying interoperability rules that inform how an LMS and xAPI activities communicate.
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 (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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
This latest blog explores what is xAPI and how to use it to accelerate modern elearning success. We take a closer look at xAPI and share some real-world examples of it in action. Widely replacing SCORM xAPI is redefining tracking a measuring elearning programs.
The Baltimore startup has new dashboard and visualization tools for its platform, and is working to help create a new open source framework that can help advance the technology.
As I delve more in to the world of xAPI and gain a higher level of understand as well as it's full potential, Data Driven Learning Design and based on Data Driven Body Language has crept into many of my searches.
Discovering more about xAPI can be a lengthy and sometimes confusing process. There are plenty of resources out there that step you through each facet of the xAPI Statement. I thought I'd put my spin on a resource in a way that helped me understand the structure.
Here is a video that demonstrates xAPI (Tin Can API) in action. The video shows the integration between a Wordpress web application with Learning Locker - a Learning Record Store (LRS).
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.
Wondering what the outcomes of a Mock xAPI Project are? Check how to explore the outcomes of a Mock xAPI Project and create great experiences for learners.
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.
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.
It’s here: xAPI is the emerging learning data and analytics specification that will replace—and completely supersede—SCORM in coming years. Also called Experience API, xAPI is an open, industry-wide specification for sending, storing, and retrieving activity about learning and performance experiences.
xAPI has arrived! While some might still debate if xAPI is “ready,” we feel that it clearly is here to stay, and can now make a tremendous impact on your organization through authoring tool xAPI support “out of the box.” xAPI promises significantly improved insight into learners and more varied data and data streams.
For over a decade, SCORM has been the industry standard for e-learning, helping learning and development professionals track the completion of courses and recording assessment scores. But now there's a new standard in town: xAPI, offering far larger data sets and the ability to connect multiple platforms.
This slidedeck introduces the core concepts of microlearning as a learning experience design approach for seamless learning. It particularly covers the fundamental underpinning of Minimal Independent Feedback Loops and how the microlearning activities are integrated into and orchestrated in more complex learning experiences using xAPI and learning analytics.
