What is xAPI - Tin Can - experience API ?!?
Learning Architecture is Evolving
Use Case : Social Learning
Social Learning Architecture Using xAPI
●Social Learning activities are structured using a web portalthat curates content from other platforms, acting as a single point of entry for participants to start a learning journey.
●By using the xAPI, we can capture data on the use ofresources, but also on the ‘social’ pieces – commenting, uploading, voting and so on.
Use Case : Expanded Activity
Expanded Activity xAPI Architecture ●External applications start providing data. Typically this is
more ‘implementation’ data, than learning – doing things in the real-world.
●With this evidence, you are starting to gather enough data to think about Certifications and Endorsements of competency.
●These can be pushed directly to HR / Talent systems.
Use Case : Link to Performance
Performance xAPI Architecture ●Integration of actual workplace performance data
enriches the source of record.
●Alternatively (or perhaps as well as), data may be pushed from the LRS to existing dashboards. This makes sense for many people; we don’t need to login to another system to see data if we already have one.
Use Case : Personalized Learning
Personalized Learning x API Architecture
●At its most simple, personalisation can come in theform of ‘recommended content’.
●With the LRS tracking activity from multiple sources, it becomes possible to manipulate your LMS or other
systemsto show only the most relevant / useful content; dynamically.
Thanks for your time. Any questions?
Where do you start: Learning Record Store● A learning record store is a database that stores xAPI statements● Stores session data for E-learning courses● Provides APIs for storing and retrieving data● When looking for an LRS make sure it is fully xAPI compliant.
Anatomy of a Statement● Actor, Verb, Object
● Jon attended xAPI breakfast event● Objects can be another actor such as
● Jon Mentored Bob● Objects can be another statement
● Kristine Liked that Jon attended xAPI breakfast event● Need more data? ● You can add additional data into your statements by adding context.
Context could be a teacher, or organization● Jon hosted xAPI breakfast event hosted by Webanywhere
● Results● Jon completed Anatomy of a Statement with a passing score of 95%
How do you get started?
● The first thing to think about is what information do you want to track● Examples: Learning activities, Sales performance, Staff interactions
● What are you going to use this data for?● Examples: Trending analysis, Gamification such as leaderboards, ROI
tracking● Where can you get that data?
● Examples: E-Learning, CRM, Website, Mobile APP● Map the data into statements
● Example: Jon sold ProductA to CompanyB for $xx.xx profit
Online and Offline?● The first thing everyone asks for is they want to start using xAPI to
watch all of their ELearning courses offline.● xAPI does not turn your courses into offline versions.
● There are tools that do this such as Articulate Storyline 2 which has an app to let you download courses and watch later offline.
● This is an activity provider solution that is possible but not what the specification means about offline
● So what does offline mean?● You can setup a device to collect information and at a later time when it is
online will transmit that data. ● For example you could have a scanner at a tradeshow and scan everyone’s
badge that visits your booth. At the end of the day you can plug your scanner into your network and it can transmit all the xAPI data to your LRS
● Maybe you read a book, you can go in later and record that as a learning statement
How do you get started? continued
● Make sure the activity provider can provide xAPI statements or can be configured to do so.
● Where will the data go?● Example: If setting up Leaderboards make sure the system hosting them
can pull data it needs from the LRS● Setup a xAPI compliant LRS to start tracking those statements
xAPI - The Only Limitation is Your Imagination
● With xAPI the possibilities are endless● Think outside the LMS● Where does learning happen● Most importantly think what you can do with that data
