Description

xAPI allows you to track, in greater detail, how your learners interact with any learning content or application, no matter where the content lives. So you can now correlate what a learner learns AND what they can do in the real world.


The key to this is xAPI statements. Short statements of who did the learning, what action they did, and a description of the action. These statements are then sent to a Learning Record Store (LRS) database, almost like a social media feed. You can then take those statements and create meaningful reports that give you more significant insights into learning than possible with SCORM inside a Learning Management System (LMS).


This course is designed to help you get started with xAPI; you will get an overview of what it is, and its potential for learning analytics. You will then see how to use xAPI in standard eLearning tools you may already be using, like Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate. We will also explore templates and tools that make custom xAPI easy.


If you are here to dive deeper, we also cover the custom code you need to fully control how and when your xAPI statements get sent to this LRS. This portion of the course is optional but allows you to customize fully how xAPI is sent over.


So join me in this course, and let's cover everything you need to know to hit the ground running with xAPI.

Who this course is for:

  • Learning development professional looking to understand and user xAPI in their learning
  • Anyone interested in how to track learning behavior
