Why xAPI?
• Learn more about the learning experience – not just elearning
• Learn more about the performance
• Correlate learning with performance
• Offer more targeted training • Support performance in better
ways • Use data to learn with others • Compare performance and
learning across learners • Deliver and track training
outside of the LMS

What is an LRS?
Answer #1 Learning Record Store Answer #2 It’s where we store training data. Answer #3 It’s a database where we send xAPI activity statements and retrieve them later for decision-making. Answer #4 It’s a next-generation LMS.

What does an LRS do?
The specification: • Accept, store & retrieve xAPI
activity statements The marketplace: • Reporting and analytics • Host xAPI resources • Admin functions • More!

If the LMS and the LRS are blurring, what’s left to decide?
![Page 15: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Concepts ahead are oversimplified to allow you the best opportunity to try on a model vs. try to get to the
nitty gritty of each individual situation.

But don’t limit yourself to thinking inside the course.
There’s a lot going on outside of your courses: • Checklists & job aids • Social interaction • Mentoring • Observations • Assessments • Performance & talent mgmt • Actual work behavior stored in
other systems • Results of actual work behavior
stored in other systems

What do we do in the meantime?
![Page 20: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If you don’t have an LMS & you don’t have SCORM …
Publish to xAPI. Get an LRS product. Rock and roll. Grow over time.
![Page 21: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
I have an LMS and I have lots of SCORM stuff. Now what?
![Page 22: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Does your LMS already have xAPI?
Start with courses published to xAPI. • Test each development package
you use. • Work with support to make sure
scoring completion, etc. Experiment with learning that happens outside an elearning course. Experiment with dashboards and reporting. (and you’re not using it yet?)
![Page 23: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Wait for your LMS to adopt xAPI
Offer to beta test. Get a sidecar LRS for your special projects and new projects. • Two sets of reports • Export xAPI “Completions”
LMS
Tip: Think through your index values – they have to line up.
![Page 24: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Get a full featured LRS and work back to learning mgmt.
Relieve yourself of complexity of your LMS. Republish SCORM 1.2 courses to “speak xAPI.” Experiment with learning that happens outside an elearning course. Start killing SCORM.

Take two aspirin and …
![Page 26: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
In the meantime
Stop using SCORM where you can. If you have to, build for SCORM knowing you’ll use xAPI. • Flexible tools that do both • Follow best practices for xAPI
now Start asking the “x” question.
![Page 27: Future Focused Platform Decisions with xAPI – ATD TechKnowledge 2017](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051720/58a59ed81a28abaf3e8b65b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Questions to ask no matter what
• What does the integration look like?
• Will users see a difference? How about LMS managers?
• What does reporting look like? • What’s it cost? Do I need an
upgrade, or can I just “do it”? • What does a pilot look like?
