A presentation made by Stuart Claggett from Dig-iT! games on the journey to finding a new solution for collecting learning data from serious games. Learn how xAPI became the solution and how Dig-iT! games then took the project global launching an open-source community called GBlxAPI (https://gblxapi.org) for using xAPI in games and creating a profile and deeper vocabulary for K-12 education has yet to embrace xAPI. The session included references to free tools including an API for use with Unity3D game engine to simplify getting xAPI into games. Other tools include an xAPI design sheet to help you organize your learning data before implementing it in your organization and serious games.

Editor's Notes
- DevLearn xAPI Showcase
- A representation on the state of learning data in the community today. Every island may or may not have resource data but it generally has no way of being interoperable. Mixpanel Custom Google Analytics
- Reporting was especially for external was probably Served the min requirements of our original custom system
- We we creating too many URIs of our own The structure of the URIs was not very organized Use of context data was weak
- The GBLxAPI project is over 3 years old as an open-source learning data project for learning analytics. It uses the xAPI specification.
- The project goals of the research now know as GBLxAPI is to create a global learning data standard for K-12 educational products including games. The data should be interoperable, transparent, normalized, simple to use and flexible. A bold plan to create a framework for all learning games
- Results from the NSF researcher showed that data is critical for the game based learning community long-term.
- 90% of Game developers agree that standardization is a key to moving the industry forward.
- Reporting was not going to meet our requirements from an LRS Reviewed several BI tools
- During our research six core vocabulary types were identified for the K-12 community based on past standards research. These are now context extensions for xAPI for the GBLxAPI community of practice profile.
- Here is an example of how a vocabulary type was created based on four different educational standards.
- Reports can be created in most xAPI compliant learning record stores but further analysis can be performed by business intelligence platforms.
- Implementation was designed to take advantage of years of xAPI investments that would allow acceleration of the GBLxAPI standard. An organized developer can have data reporting to an LRS in less than two weeks using community tools. GBLxAPI does not exclude using your existing data system. Free excel design tool to help you get organized
- If executed GBLxAPI could provide data for personalized learning using game-based learning.
- xAPI is a foundation for GBLxAPI that is solidly growing in the broader e-learning community.
- Learning data continues to be a struggle in the K-12 community and standardization is a key issue. Let’s stop kicking the can down the road and act now using GBLxAPI.
