xAPI in a nutshell
Traceable learning is no longer limited to what is happening in the LMS.
The Experience API (xAPI) tracks all types of learning experiences using three components.
- Actor: This is the learner who is linked to the experience and can be an email or other identifiable data.
- Verb: What the learner did (answered, commented, observed, passed, completed).
- Object: What activity is the experience associated with (question, forum, video, PDF).
xAPI is recorded in a learning data record memory
Regardless of where the experience takes place, it can be recorded using xAPI.
- Not limited: xAPI is not limited to just a learning management system, but can be used in almost any connected system.
- Flexible: xAPI data can be accessed by various systems to check learning outcomes or any other system
- Platform independent: Can be accessed from any platform, any application and any device.
