Until recently, using xAPI meant custom programming, close work with your LRS provider, and custom reporting tools. It just wasn't scalable for enterprise-wide adoption. Today, xAPI is ready for wider adoption. We'll talk about the state of xAPI adoption and what you'll need to get started. Major courseware development tools have varying degrees of basic conformance with xAPI and can send statements to an LRS. Several LRSs are commercially available to choose from, and LMS providers are adding an LRS to their suites. Conformance specifications are evolving and more tools that previously never used SCORM are adopting xAPI.

As adoption of xAPI begins to take hold, it allows for more robust and interesting tracking of the learning process. As actual performance and results data are integrated with learning metrics, we will have the data we need to tailor the learning process to individual needs at the same time that we can draw more useful conclusions about the learning as a whole across a wider population.

Until recently, using xAPI meant custom programming, close work with your LRS provider, and custom reporting tools. It just wasn’t scalable for enterprise-wide use. Today, xAPI is ready for much broader application. Torrance outlines the current state of xAPI adoption and what you’ll need to get started using it. You’ll find out how to convince your organization to adopt xAPI, identify projects that are good candidates for it, and outline a strategy for adoption and working with vendors and partners.

The Impacts of the Tin Can API: How 8 Companies are Using the Tin Can API (xAPI)Rustici Software
The Tin Can API is having major impacts on the direction of the e-learning industry.
Organizations and vendors of various types are rushing to adopt Tin Can because it enables many things they have wanted to do for a long time. Things like mobile delivery, offline delivery, serious games and hosting content outside the LMS were all difficult or impossible with SCORM. These are easy with Tin Can.
This webinar lets you get an in-depth look at what Tin Can means to various types of software and organizations, and learn what you need to be doing to make sure that you're keeping up with the trends that Tin Can has enabled in our industry. It features eight companies, each of which will tell you how they're using the Tin Can API, and what it means for their business.
The market is changing fast, and jobs are being reinvented every 3-5 years. The problem is, we can’t go back to school every 3-5 years because it’s time consuming and expensive. Combined with people’s changing workplace expectations, we find ourselves in a new working world with a different set of employee engagement challenges.
The solution to all these challenges is to consumerize learning at work. Why? Your training solution should operate at a higher level. Your employees expect the best user experience from their favorite personal apps in their daily lives, and the technology expectation at work should be no different. People want an intuitive and engaging learning experience, so that they can acquire new skills at their moment of need. This is what consumerizing learning is able to achieve. In order to succeed at developing and retaining the best talent, organizations today must invest in consumer-first learning technology that keeps up with changes in the market, and keeps employees productive and happy.
Takeaways:
Why learning is being consumerized and what you can do to manage it
The key changes in learner behavior and the learning landscape
What it means to offer a consumer-first learning solution
In this session, participants will see examples of custom features that can meet business requirements. You will learn what basic functions are needed in a learning management system, what the most-sought custom features are, and why there is dissatisfaction with LMS systems. Those who are in need of specific LMS features will get an idea of how they can be achieved.

Improving Organizational Performance using the Experience APIAli Shahrazad
People are learning everywhere. Modern and natural learning happens on mobile devices, in social networks, on the job, and via formal assessments. It happens on numerous systems, from Yammer and SharePoint to SkillSoft and Khan Academy. Organizations are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to create this training using old technology standards. As a result, data is stuck in silos and L&D has little to no idea what training is effective or how it impacts business results.
This session provided a brief non-technical overview of the Experience API and showed real-use cases inside organizations. It also covers how to assess organizational readiness, strategic planning, and practical implementation. Participants will acquire the knowledge needed to improve organizational performance using the Experience API.
This session delivered at Learning DevCamp 2015, Salt Lake City, UT by Megan Torrance.
This session has two parts (and way too much interesting content for an hour! :-) ) First, Megan reviews what xAPI is and a roadmap for moving from a SCORM-based environment to an xAPI-centric environment. Then she shares a dozen or so models for taking advantage of xAPI as a first pilot project.

If You Build It, Will They Come? - How to Increase Learning AdoptionB.J. Schone
Designing and building learning materials is a tough enough job, but what happens when you spend weeks or months on a project and nobody even bothers to use it? This presentation will explore more than a dozen ideas for increasing user adoption of learning materials through a series of strategies and tactics you can begin using immediately.
Increasing user adoption requires an in-depth understanding of your users, including their jobs, behaviors, wants, and needs. Once you understand these elements, you can design your implementation approach and introduce on-going activities to increase adoption.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
