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.
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.
LMS Reporting is a crucial feature of any modern online course and it shows full advantage of Big Data nowadays. But admit it, just looking at figures and metrics is of little use.
It never bodes well to dive into the unknown without preparation. To define, design and enable learning analytics, it’s essential to have a clear strategy in place. Prep yourself with these evaluation questions before you dive into learning analytics.
This talk will explore connections between two emerging fields focused on harnessing the potential of data – learning analytics and quantitative ethnography.
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.
