xAPI

xAPI, or Experience API, is a modern specification for learning technology that allows tracking and sharing of data about learning experiences. It records detailed information about what a learner does, whether in formal courses, informal activities, or simulations. This data helps organizations understand how individuals learn, assess training effectiveness, and improve educational programs. Unlike earlier systems, xAPI can gather data from various sources, making it flexible and comprehensive. Essentially, it provides a way to capture and analyze all kinds of learning experiences, both online and offline, creating a richer picture of a learner's journey.
