xAPI is a simple, lightweight way to store and retrieve records about learners and share these data across platforms. These records (known as activity statements) can be captured in a consistent format from any number of sources (known as activity providers) and they are aggregated in a learning record store (LRS).May 21, 2021
SCORM, the main difference is that xAPI allows the tracking of learning activity from multiple contexts online and offline, not just on the LMS. xAPI is fast becoming the new industry standard, challenging SCORM for dominance in the e-learning sphere.Mar 10, 2022
The technical detail of the xAPI spec allows it to capture more and richer data, more reliably than SCORM. A powerful LMS like LearnUpon allows you to automate reports based on the incredibly detailed data xAPI tracks.Jan 29, 2019
No, it's not. It's easy to make SCORM content work in a xAPI system.
xAPI was created to be the next generation of SCORM but in reality, there are a lot of differences between areas covered by the two specifications. xAPI enables the tracking of any learning experiences whilst SCORM focused on packaged quiz-based e-learning courses.
Moodle xAPI functionalities The final objective of Moodle xAPI library is NOT to implement a full LRS inside Moodle but to provide an easy way to handle xAPI statements within any plugin that needs it. For now Moodle will focus on supporting the main xAPI request which is called “statement”.May 28, 2020
Tin Can, Experience API, xAPI – three names for the same thing. It's all very confusing and can be frustrating so this page aims to help you understand. The short version is that it's all the same thing, we call it Experience API or xAPI, but you can call it whichever you like!
could be adapted to suit the next generation of eLearning. xAPI is the result of that work. Rustici chose the name project name “Tin Can” to describe the two-way conversations the technology would track as it made it easier for learning systems to communicate with each other.Jan 8, 2019
xAPI is a data and interface standard that lets software applications capture and share (big) data on human performance, along with associated context information (i.e., “experience” data).
Summary: SCORM, in all its incarnations, has been a constant within the eLearning community for well over a decade, 18 years to be exact. Since then, technology has left the standard in the dust with users looking for new and more detailed ways to track learner journeys. In truth, SCORM is dead.Jul 21, 2019
Unlike AICC, SCORM is still relevant today: it is the industry standard for eLearning content, and nearly all LMS vendors support SCORM content.May 21, 2021
