Back to Blog Employee Training & Development What Is xAPI? In the training context, this means knowing and tracking everything the learner does, from reading training documents to watching webinars or training videos and attending mobile learning lessons. What Is xAPI? xAPI is a massive ‘upgrade’ to SCORM.

Anthony is an independent xAPI evangelist and Instructional Developer for the Internet of Things. If you’re an elearning professional, you’ve probably seen or heard the term xAPI countless times. But are you still fuzzy about where SCORM ends and xAPI begins? How Did the SCORM/xAPI Confusion Begin?

Hi Andy, We’re currently building a new web application, and we’re looking into using xAPI to capture more data than we can with SCORM. We know we need a Learning Record Store (LRS) to handle xAPI statements, but we aren’t sure which option is best for our app. If you have a question, you can always fill out this form and ask Andy too.

It’s all too common to hear someone say “cmi5 is the bridge between SCORM and xAPI” around the office. xAPI came along and was designed to track all kinds of learning activities across different technologies that often sit outside of an LMS, like mobile apps, gaming, simulations, virtual reality and augmented reality.

What’s the difference between profile recipes and xAPI profiles? A “ profile recipe ” was an early attempt to make it possible for members of the xAPI community to publicly share how they were implementing an information model for a given experience in the hopes that others with a similar experience could use the same model.

The Department of Defense’s ADL initiative decided upon a version, to move things forward, and thus was born SCORM. When standards are well-written, they support a basis upon which innovation can flourish. And if not, there’s always the ADL to wield the ‘800 lb gorilla’ argument. Standards are good.

On day one of our series, we learned that AICC (Aviation Industry Computer-Based-Training Committee) can be considered the first eLearning standard, used to track how learners progress through course content. While many eLearning vendors still support AICC, the standard is usually a legacy of older platforms and businesses.

Ask yourself the following questions: Which SCORM versions do I need and are they supported? When choosing which version you want your LMS to support, you’ll need to consider which features you want from it, and which standard your elearning is built to. If it’s not certified by ADL, which SCORM API elements are supported?

There are different levels of SCORM compliance, as some LMS can only read and deliver the course but do not track attendance, scores or save the learner’s progress. SCORM Certified.
