The document discusses using xAPI (Experience API) data to gain insights from learning programs. It notes that learning and development professionals can become key influencers when they can provide data and analysis linked to business strategy. While some instructional designers may feel intimidated by the need to analyze data, the document reassures that exploring xAPI data can be done using existing tools and does not require advanced skills. It provides examples of the types of participation and performance questions that can be answered through xAPI data, such as how resources are being used, time spent, regional differences, and whether training is having the desired impact on business metrics.
