In this presentation Art Werkenthin of RISC and Megan Torrance of TorranceLearning discuss ways to address the concerns of the C-Suite, management, learners, IT, the L&D team and your vendors for an xAPI implementation.
Life in a post-SCORM world for xAPI Party May2016TorranceLearning
xAPI is a next-generation standard for tracking learning experiences across systems and platforms. It allows learning activities to be recorded in a structured yet flexible way. This provides a richer picture of learning compared to the previous SCORM standard. An important component of xAPI is the learning record store (LRS), which is a database that collects and stores learning activity statements from across systems. This enables learning data to be analyzed in new ways to improve performance and business results.
xAPI Models & Their Implications for xAPI Party May 2016TorranceLearning
A way to classify (and draw implications from) xAPI learning experience types that were previously not possible or not easy with SCORM and traditional LMS
A quick "what is xAPI" and "what would you measure that you can't do with SCORM" discussion followed by a look at 2 major projects ("Adventures") and 4 quick small projects to get you started ("Day Hikes"). Wraps up with a "state of the xAPI" for instructional designers
xAPI: What Does an Instructional Designer Need to Know?TorranceLearning
The document summarizes Megan Torrance's presentation on the xAPI and what instructional designers need to know about it. It discusses that the xAPI allows for tracking any learning experience, including informal learning outside an LMS. It provides examples of xAPI activity statements and encourages experimenting with creating statements. It also discusses how the xAPI enables tying learning to results and job performance better than SCORM. The presentation suggests instructional designers think about the questions they want to answer and what data would help, and provides examples of how the xAPI could be used now and in the future.
This document discusses the transition from the SCORM standard for tracking learning data to the newer xAPI standard. It explains how SCORM tracks basic data like time, score, location and status, but xAPI allows for tracking a wider range of learning activities and outcomes. The document advocates for using xAPI to track not just satisfaction and basic knowledge, but also higher-level outcomes like behaviors, practice, results and return on investment. It outlines how adoption of xAPI has moved from an early stage of "geek-free" tools emerging to the current "norming" stage with more common usage.
The document discusses xAPI (experience API), a new standard for tracking learning data beyond traditional LMS systems. It encourages instructional designers to think about capturing data on learning experiences, outcomes, and performance in order to gain insights and tie learning to business results. It recommends starting with small "day hike" proof-of-concept projects using xAPI to demonstrate value before taking on larger initiatives.

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.
This document discusses using xAPI and technology to extend and empower classroom training. It describes tracking learner experiences both inside and outside the classroom through mobile apps and devices. This includes doing assessments before and after training, using interactive experiences and questions during class, and assigning tasks outside of class. The goal is to better understand learner needs and measure training effectiveness through analytics to improve the learning process.

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.
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.
LSCon 2017 Making Future-focused Platform Decisions with the xAPITorranceLearning
This document discusses making future-focused platform decisions regarding the Experience API (xAPI) and learning record stores (LRS). It provides an overview of xAPI and LRS functionality, including tracking learning experiences outside of learning management systems (LMS) and correlating learning with performance. The document outlines different approaches an organization can take in integrating xAPI and an LRS, such as using a sidecar LRS for special projects or transitioning from an LMS to a full-featured LRS. It emphasizes starting small with xAPI by publishing content to it and experimenting before making large-scale changes.
This document discusses 9 practical applications of the Tin Can API:
1. Learning Analytics - Track learning across sources and use data to improve learning.
2. Better Blended Learning - Create coherent learning solutions where one element impacts another.
3. Adaptive Pathways - Allow what happens in one learning experience to affect future experiences presented.
It provides an overview of each application, examples, and suggestions on how to get started with designing a pilot project. Technical tips are also provided, emphasizing using code libraries and statement recipes. The goal is to pick one application to start with and improve from the initial pilot.
Riptide Software provides e-learning platforms, courseware development services, and xAPI integrations. It has over 220 system deployments worldwide and serves clients in commercial industries like retail and legal as well as government clients including the Department of Defense. Riptide offers learning management systems, authoring tools, hosting, and technical support and has experience implementing xAPI, mobile delivery, competency tracking, and integrating with other systems.
This document discusses how Tin Can APIs can be used to improve learning and business goals. It begins by explaining how SCORM has constrained course design by requiring courses to live within an LMS and only track certain data. Tin Can allows for more flexible design by using an LRS-centric architecture to port activity data. Examples are given of how Tin Can could be used to reduce infection rates by improving hand washing training or decrease training costs by providing learning in context. The document concludes by posing questions about how to identify opportunities, activities, and outcomes to design feedback loops that iteratively improve learning and business goals using real-time analytics from an LRS.

This document discusses how tracking learning analytics with the Experience API (xAPI) standard can revolutionize internal training. xAPI allows learning experiences to be tracked consistently across systems and stored as statements in a Learning Record Store (LRS). This provides a more flexible and extensive approach compared to the older SCORM standard. An LRS can integrate data from various sources like LMSs, CRMs, and mobile apps to provide insights into learning effectiveness, performance, and recommendations. Examples show how xAPI enables analyzing e-learning usage patterns in detail, powering gamification systems, and linking sales data to training completion. Implementing a full xAPI solution involves deciding what data to track, setting up an LRS, and ensuring activity

3) The system now handles 350 online assessments per quarter serving 400 students. FIDM plans further customization and integration with their new LMS, Sakai.
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 presentation explorde some of the big trends in digital learning at the moment.
- the use of artificial intelligence in L&D
- the maturation of xAPI and how L&D is becoming more data driven
- the relationship between microlearning and learning while working, and personalisation of learning
- the rise of digital workplaces and what this means for L&D
virtual reality and augmented reality
- the new role of the LMS in a learning ecosystem and the growth of learning experience platforms.
Do testers have to code... to be useful? Janet Gregory and Lisa Crispin plena...lisacrispin
This document discusses whether testers need to code to be useful on agile teams. It notes that while development teams already have coders, testers can add unique value through specialized testing skills like exploratory testing and expertise in areas like security, performance, and user experience testing. The document advocates that testers develop technical awareness of tools and concepts used by the team, but that coding skills are not absolutely required as long as testers have strong thinking and collaboration skills. Testers should focus on competencies over prescribed roles and find ways to add value through skills like eliciting examples and communicating effectively with all team members.

xAPI Intro for Instructional Designers Learning While Working 2019TorranceLearning
This document provides an introduction to xAPI (Experience API) for instructional designers. It defines xAPI as a specification for sending, storing, and retrieving data about learning experiences. The document discusses how xAPI works and how it is an improvement over SCORM. It provides examples of xAPI statements and describes how learning data can be used. It also offers guidance on getting started with xAPI, including ways to send data and where to store it in a learning record store. The document aims to help instructional designers understand and implement xAPI for tracking learning activities.
xAPI is a specification that allows learning activities and experiences to be tracked across systems and applications. It provides a standardized way to send, receive, and store data about learning and performance. xAPI provides more detailed data than SCORM and can track both formal and informal learning experiences. There are several ways for instructional designers and organizations to implement xAPI, including using authoring tools, aggregators, custom code, or importing data from other systems. xAPI data needs to be organized and structured properly to ensure it is useful for analysis.
8 Ways to Evaluate Learning S106 Learning DevCamp 2019TorranceLearning
This document discusses strategies for evaluating training programs using the 8 levels of evaluation: 1) Satisfaction, 2) Knowledge, 3) Behaviors, 4) Results, 5) Participation, 6) Learning Experience, 7) Leader Insights, and 8) Lessons Learned. It provides details on how to measure each level, what types of data and tools to use, and recommends establishing a strategy that involves measuring engagement, experience, and organizational insights. The document stresses starting to measure key metrics now to establish baselines and implementing evaluations in 30, 60, and 90 day increments.
This document provides an overview of agile project management techniques for instructional designers. It discusses how agile is better suited than traditional models for complex instructional design projects that require flexibility and responsiveness to change. The key aspects of agile covered include iterative development, prioritizing work based on business value, frequent planning and review cycles, and emphasis on collaboration and feedback.
On time. In budget. What they need (even if that changes!). These are moving targets and yet, you're expected to deliver all three. The software development industry is embracing Agile project management to address these issues and there is much that we in learning & development can learn from them. Agile provides a framework for adapting to change as it happens and working with the project sponsor to deliver the content most needed by learners.
In this session, you'll learn about the Agile project management methods adapted specifically for instructional design & development projects — Lot Like Agile Management Approach (LLAMA®)—and how to use them on the job. We’ll cover everything from kicking off a project with a solid definition of scope all the way through the process of estimating and planning the work. Your takeaways include templates and techniques for goal alignment, learner personas, scope definition, estimating, planning, and iterative development.
Agile PM for Instructional Design - Learning DevCamp 2018TorranceLearning
The document describes an introduction to Agile project management for instructional design. It discusses how Agile is an iterative approach that focuses on maximizing customer value and team engagement. It then outlines several Agile practices for instructional design projects, including writing learner personas to guide scope, using story mapping to define tasks in iterations, estimating work efforts, planning in iterations to allow for review and adjustment, and holding daily stand-ups and retrospectives to support the team. The overall document serves to build the case for using Agile practices for instructional design projects.
This document discusses building an xAPI learning ecosystem to track learning data across systems. It explains that xAPI allows measurement and analytics of learning data, moving data across courses, platforms, and functions. It outlines three steps to build an xAPI ecosystem: 1) send data using authoring tools, custom code, or getting vendors to send data; 2) receive data using learning record stores or LMSs with LRS functionality; and 3) start small by launching xAPI from triggers in SCORM courses or exporting SCORM to an LRS, and wait for full LMS adoption or use a sidecar LRS. Resources for learning more about xAPI are also provided.
xAPI is an experience API specification for recording and analyzing learning and performance experiences. It allows learning experiences to be tracked across systems and outside of learning management systems. Activity statements describe learning activities using a simple subject-verb-object format. These statements can be sent to a learning record store to build a learning record over time. Getting started with xAPI involves picking a project, learning more through online resources, and joining communities of practice.
Intro to Agile Project Mgmt for Instructional DesignTorranceLearning
The document discusses agile project management approaches for instructional design. It describes agile as an iterative and incremental method for guiding design and build projects in a flexible and interactive manner focused on maximizing customer value. It outlines common agile practices like using epics and stories to define scope, estimating tasks, iterative development with evaluation and feedback, and minimum viable products. The document advocates for bottom-up planning based on estimates rather than top-down planning based on schedules.
ATD ICE 2018 Building the xAPI Ecosystem Houck & TorranceTorranceLearning
In this session, we'll start with the learner-facing tools that will capture your xAPI data: elearning, mobile tools, performance support, social and informal activities, and data sources from the business. We'll review your options when it comes to LRS and how they work (or don't work) with your LMS. Will you work with a standalone LRS? A front end xAPI solution with a built-in LRS? Or an LRS that is aligned with your LMS and your current learning infrastructure? We'll share real-world stories of three different xAPI implementations to help you plot your organization's course toward your next-generation learning ecosystem.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

• To have cmi5, you must have an LRS
Sneaky!
The C-Suite doesn’t care how you do it, they just want to improve productivity, efficiency and innovation. Improve the bottom line.
It’s hard to show anything new to the changing student base. They are used to YouTube, SnapChat, Facebook. They get their news from Twitter (shudder). The send hundreds of text messages a day. They play video games. (hmm, are those last two an opening?)
The tools we have today are not working.
E-LearningFace it: No matter how many cool widgets you drop in your e-learning, you’ll never hear an employee say “Oooh, I can’t wait to get started on that new e-learning module today”. With traditional learning, we are re-arranging deck chairs on the titanic.
Instructor-LedIt’s a toss-up whether instructor-led training is more or less impactful than e-learning. Studies go both ways; probably depends on the type of student. A blended offering is probably best.
MOOCThe passing rates for MOOC’s is pretty low. Generous estimates put it around 40%. Can you sell that to the C-Suite?
If we want to improve an employee’s skills, we first have to measure those skills.
xAPI allows you to measure skills in context. This means you monitor performance in the place where that performance takes place.
For example, your accounting systems can send statements to xAPI, as well as your training systems.
Obviously SCORM cannot do that.
If you can measure, you can train on only those things that need improvement (cost savings).
Managers want:
Reduce training time and costTraining is often viewed as a “cost”, with no clear impact on the business
Improve PerformanceDo more with less.
Improve RetentionIn-line training, micro learning, gaming, simulations… all can work to improveemployee satisfaction
Imagine if your training could be “in-line” with an employee’s daily activity, instead of an “event”. (ex: Adam Mentor)
xAPI can be used as a systems integration point, getting performance data from in-line systems, and learning data from training interventions
Use micro-learning, gaming, simulations, mobile, etc. based on observed performance
Another Solution to Support-If your LRS is in the Cloud, it is not (necessarily) another system to support.-Easier to support than SCORM
Costs-There are free LRS options and trial options. Run a pilot project to demonstrate effectiveness.-Use xAPI to integrate systems means no middleware! (PDF Annotator example
Security-xAPI can be as secure as you want to make it. -Use HTTPS-Use signed statements-Use OAUTH
BoredomxAPI allows you to bring all kinds of new tools to bearbecause you can finally track it
Performance-Using the feedback loop, you can provide trainingjust when it is needed. -You can avoid training the student on things they already know
Data PrivacyYou may need a serious discussion BEFORE tracking student information-You need to show the student the benefits of tracking their performance in context.-Who owns the data? Student? Company?
