This week we entered the fantastic world of xAPI. We had guest webinars from Mike Hruska of Problem Solutions and Rob Chadwick, Co-Founder of Veracity Technology Consultants. In addition, our very own eLearning Brothers developer Bill Milstid gave 3 awesome webinars on using xAPI in each of the big 3 authoring tools—Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline, and Lectora by Trivantis.
These xAPI in Action webinars generated many specific, practical questions from our attendees. As we were unable to answer them all in our limited webinar timeframe, Bill kindly answered some more here.
…Let’s say a learner opens a PDF to perform a task. Do you recommend adding the PDF in Storyline and then generating a statement to send to the LRS?
Yes. I’d most likely approach it like so: User clicks a button to launch a PDF. At the same time, that button sends a custom statement indicating the user opened the doc.
