- 4. What is xAPI? Answer #1 Next-generation SCORM (not exactly, but bear with me)
- 5. What is SCORM? Time Score Location Status Answers
- 6. When we live in a SCORM world … … we live in a box.
- 7. In a SCORM world… We focus effort on the instruction & the media in elearning. In an xAPI world… We focus on the instruction & the media & the data in everything.
- 8. In a SCORM world… Developer tools do the heavy lifting for SCORM. In an xAPI world… There are few rich developer tools do the heavy lifting for xAPI yet.
- 9. So get comfortable with some of this …
- 10. In a SCORM world… We don’t think much about data or reporting. In an xAPI world… We now get to think about data and reporting that makes sense for learning.
- 11. In a SCORM world… We probably don’t track out-of-LMS learning at depth or scale. In an xAPI world… We can track out-of-LMS learning at depth and scale.
- 12. In a SCORM world… We may struggle to tie learning “completions” to results. In an xAPI world… We can tie learning & behavior to organization results if we do it right.
- 13. (not all learning happens in the LMS)
- 14. Learning doesn’t have to be disconnected from the work
- 15. So what should we track and measure?

- 20. An Experience Learning Model Experience Debrief Reflection Action Planning What What happened? So what? Now what?
- 21. But that’s just the learning
- 22. What can you do now that you have xAPI? Learn more about the learning experience Learn more about the performance Correlate learning with performance Correlate learning with results Correlate performance with results Offer more targeted training Support performance in better ways Learn from others Share learning with others Compare performance and learning across learners Deliver and track training outside of the LMS

FORMING STORMING NORMING PERFORMING xAPI needs geeks Geek-free tools emerge Communities of Practice work to define usage Learn-by-doing in Cohorts Conformance Certification Formal training opportunities Project Tin Can Specification Standard More common than SCORM x Is xAPI ready for prime time?
- 26. Day Hikes with the xAPI
- 27. What is a day hike? Those first-step projects that: Show real impact Help you figure out your data issues Prove your point Free or very low cost (Maybe even under the radar) Things you can pick up and do without breaking other things. Dollarphotoclub_60078630
- 28. Why do you need a day hike? You can’t sell xAPI. (no one cares) You can sell the connection between improved learning data and better organizational outcomes. You probably need a proof-of- concept. You have to show it.
- 29. Pick the right project SCORM is not the (best) answer The project’s sponsor is on board and knows what she or he is getting into Failure is an option
- 30. Be clear about your goals Choose your question. Why are you doing this in the first place? Form your hypothesis. What do you think will happen? How will you know it will happen? What data will you need to collect to be sure? Create an experiment (your project). How will you set up your learning experience to gather the data you need? What is your control group?

- ASK: Using your pointer tool, put your name on which onboarding plan you’d rather participate in. DISCUSS: Why did you pick that?
- One way to look at it is that xAPI is the next Generation SCORM. It’s a lot more than that, but let’s take a minute and talk about where we’re starting, and that’s, in most cases, SCORM. ASK: In chat, summarize what you know about SCORM. Do you use it? Do you have to pay attention to it?
- SCORM is a standard for the way that elearning courses communicate with their learning management systems. It tracks about 20 pieces of data, about 5 of which are interesting to instructional designers, and it’s all packaged up in a nice neat container. SCORM is just fine if everything you need to learn and track can be housed in your LMS. And you only learn when you’re connected to the internet and logged into the LMS. ASK: How much of what your learners need to know is learned in an elearning course in the LMS?
- It’s worthwhile to spend a little bit of time talking about what happens when we live in a SCORM world (which we all do) and how xAPI is different. Otherwise, what I’ve found is that people try to re-create SCORM using xAPI, instead of thinking bigger.
- With SCORM we’re only tracking the things in the blue ring, and really we’re only catching the practice if we’re being very clever about it. Or not tracking it very deeply. With xAPI we can be tracking the green ring as well – what’s going on terms of behaviors and how we’re
- Overlaying Kirkpatrick’s Evaluation Levels and Cathy Moore … with what we can track in xAPI and what we have historically been able to track using Kirkpatrick
- Similarly the 70/20/10 model.
- And the Gotfredson Mosher 5 moments of learning need (which I have expanded to 9 moments) 5 Moments of Learning Need: Gottfredson & Mosher http://www.learningsolutionsmag.com/articles/949/ 9 Moments of Need: Torrance https://www.td.org/Publications/Magazines/TD/TD-Archive/2014/09/Nine-Moments-of-Learning
- That’s because it’s all about interoperability. You’re building a large platform … not continuing a bunch of silos held together with bailing twine and bandages. But that’s a completely different story for a different day.
- Choose your question. Why are you doing this in the first place? Form your hypothesis. What do you think will happen? How will you know it will happen? What data will you need to collect to be sure? Create an experiment (your project). How will you set up your learning experience to gather the data you need? What is your control group?
- But what happens when change happens AFTER it’s supposed to?
