Abstract

The

eXperience

Application Programming Interface

(

xAPI

) is a new s

pecification

that allows learning content to link with learning systems to track and share all types of learning experiences. Learning activities can be tracked using combinations of a limited vocabulary of activities, verbs and subjects. While the specification provides a default profile of activities and verbs it allows for communities of practice to develop custom profiles of their own agreed activities and verbs. This presentation will have

main 3

parts. Slide3

Caveat EmptorTincan OR experienceAPI OR

xAPI

Versions 0.90-0.95-1.0-

1.01

Many

examples are ‘slightly wrong’Libraries for Java, JS and PHPNew .NET Library for the Tin Can API is Now Available!Refer to the final spec 1.0.1

Assumes

you are VP Standard awareSlide5

Part 1 - How

Firstly

it will demonstrate

how

to use the experience API to capture the stream of activities a learner generates while playing a Virtual Patient (VP). It will show technical examples that map VP concepts onto XAPI calls that can be used to populate a Learning Record System (LRS) with VP related learner data. Slide6

XAPI - ContextActivities

XAPI provides four possibilities - ‘parent’, ‘grouping’, ‘category’, and ‘other’

Parent

- model the Virtual Patient as parent activity and set that as the context for all subsequent related activities. Further granularity would be a video and MCQ with a node as parent activity.

Grouping

- might want to group an activity within the VP with related activities in same VP or other VPs
