This document discusses how to instrument xAPI (Experience API) in forums and discussion groups to track user behavior and engagement. It describes tracking participation levels, identifying high-performing users based on posts that are voted up or accepted, and identifying developmental opportunities for users whose posts are often voted down. It also addresses tracking how users join and leave groups, their posting and replying behavior, and results from polls over time. The document provides considerations for using existing xAPI vocabularies and extensions and notes that more time is spent researching standards than coding extensions.
