Unless you’ve been living under a very large and very heavy rock, chances are that you’ve heard all about xAPI and how it’s going to revolutionise the learning world.
It allows you to record learning whenever and wherever it happens, meaning that you can track all of that wonderful informal learning happening on a daily basis. It’s so exciting that you might think that it could make SCORM completely redundant, but it’s not quite as simple as that…
While xAPI is fantastic for capturing learning activities outside of an LMS, it’s not structured enough to govern what sort of content should go inside an LMS. Something else would have to fill this crucial gap to keep everything running smoothly.
