•  Experience API Introduction •  Capturing informal learning •  Supporting mobile learning with xAPI •  Education analytics •  Experience API with Valamis •  Conclusions

EXPERIENCE  API  INTRODUCTION  Four  important  reasons  why  you  should  care  about  Tin  Can  API  

Experience  API  (xAPI)  

•  Experience  API,  formerly  known  as  Tin  Can  API  •  New  eLearning  standard  to  answer  limita3ons  of  SCORM  

•  Oversought  by  Advanced  Distributed  Learning  (ADL)  

•  1.0  release  of  standard  in  March  2013  

Four  layers  of  Tin  Can  onion  

•  Layer  1  –  Course  module  container,  but  without  limita3ons  of  SCORM  

•  Layer  2  –  Record  formal  and  informal  learning  experiences  

•  Layer  3  –  Free  the  data  and  learning  from  the  boundaries  of  LMS  

•  Layer  4  –  Correlate  job  performance  with  learning  data  to  assess  effec3veness  of  training  

CAPTURING  INFORMAL  LEARNING  Removing  barriers  and  allowing  peer-­‐level  knowledge  sharing  

Knowledge  sharing  on  peer-­‐level  

•  Our  goal  is  to  support  structuring  the  hidden  knowledge  between  employees  on  a  peer-­‐to-­‐peer  level.      –  Trust  is  based  on  reputa3on  and  experience  on  amount  of  shared  content.    

–  Shared  contents  are  small  enough  that  they  can  be  easily  described  on  meaningful  level,  that  it's  useable  with  xAPI  

–  This  combined  with  gamifica3on,  like  achievements  and  challenges  could  be  used  and  directed  within  a  enterprise  to  encourage  knowledge  sharing  in  a  structured  way.    

MOBILE  LEARNING  How  to  support  learning    in  remote  loca3ons  

Support  offline  learning  in  mobile  

•  Learning  should  happen  on-­‐site  and  some3mes  in  remote  loca3ons  – Mobile  /  tablet  is  a  must  – How  to  implement  offline  learning    

•  Everything  is  HTML5  •  Responsive  learning  already  exists  

Missing  link  for  offline  -­‐  xAPI  

•  Tin  Can  API  (xAPI)  allows  users  to  track  learning  experiences  (statements)  locally  and  sync  when  connected  – Not  possible  with  SCORM  /  AICC  

•  Implementa3ons  na3ve  and  HTML5  extensions  apps  

ANALYTICS  Connec3ng  work  preformance  to  learning  

Analy3cs  in  learning  

•  Going  Big  Data  with  Tin  Can  API  creates  tremendous  opportunity  with  learning  

•  Measure  training  impact  to  work  performance  •  One  of  the  fastest  developing  area  in  online  learning  

Prac3cal  implica3ons  

•  Connect  external  applica3ons  with  Tin  Can  – Connect  external  simulators  /  learning  pla_orms  

•  ZebraZapps  ,  Twilio,  Khan  Academy,  Coursera,  Google  Course  Builder  

– Connector  frameworks  exists  for  cloud  /  SaaS  •  Yammer,  Linkedin,  Salesforce,  SuccessFactors,  Workday,  Hubspot,  Twicer  etc…  

•  Track  and  measure  using  LRS  

BEST  DAMN  ELEARNING  PLATFORM  ON  THE  PLANET  

Liferay,  Valamis,  xAPI  and  Open  Badges  

What  is  portal  pla_orm?  

•  Web  pla_orm  •  WCM  system  •  Integra3on  pla_orm  •  Collabora3on  pla_orm  •  Social  system  

Liferay  is…  

•  Standardized  JavaEE  portal  pla_orm  (JSR-­‐168  +  JSR  286)  – Supports  mul3ple  design  and  implementa3on  paradigms
