Learning Analytics using the Experience API

Join us for an in depth look at the Experience API and how to use it for learning analytics.
 
The Experience API (xAPI) is a component of the Training and Learning Architecture (TLA). The purpose of the xAPI is to store and provide access to learning experiences. The xAPI enables tracking of learning experiences, including traditional records, such as scores or completion. It also records of learners' actions, like reading an article or watching a training video.
