The Interservice / Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) is the world's largest modeling, simulation and training event. It’s a hotbed of innovation in simulation and training technologies as well as being arguably the most important venue for the presentation of research in the space.

Sometimes, you want to define relationships. Other times, you want to add context. When describing time, direction, location, and spatial relationships, we depend on prepositions. But that’s been a difficult task in the realm of xAPI.

Until now.

Meet xAPI Prepositions — a set of 150 machine-readable xAPI concepts delivered in a conformant xAPI Profile.

Track video engagement during offline learning experiences with the new xAPI VLC plugin capability from Yet Analytics. Distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, it provides the ability to track activity and generate xAPI data directly from VLC Media Player.

Announcing the inaugural publication of YetToDiscover — the Learning Data Management Report and Catalog from Yet Analytics.

Every training event could be represented in a digital data profile.

As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-based xAPI implementations to track and analyze learning experiences, understanding the associated costs becomes crucial.

Learning Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that applies engineering principles to the design, development, and implementation of learning experiences. It involves integrating theories from education, psychology, and cognitive science with cutting-edge technologies and approaches to data design and implementation to create effective, efficient, and engaging learning environments capable of producing measurable outcomes.

The Experience API (xAPI) has transformed the landscape of learning technology, enabling the capture of diverse learning experiences across various platforms. However, designing xAPI Profiles has traditionally been a cumbersome and labor-intensive process.

As an Apache 2.0 open source Learning Record Store built on SQL, our LRS provides significant advantages in terms of deployment, integration, and data querying capabilities.

ICICLE’s 2024 Learning Engineering conference revolves around the overarching theme of Solving for Complexity at Scale.

The conference focuses on solving the implicit complexity of learning challenges at different scales, from the individual tutor to massive open online courses and everything in between.

xAPI implementation has become even easier for U.S. Federal Government stakeholders. A Certification to Field (CtF) has been granted for SQL LRS on USAF’s Platform One.

Reactions is a method of applying conditional logic to things happening within SQL LRS.

Reactions — the first xAPI-based assertion generator built directly into a Learning Record Store.

One of the most interesting aspects of xAPI is the ability to model time.

Yet Analytics is looking for a Business Analyst to help us shape and deploy cutting-edge learning data products and open source offerings. This role supports large commercial and government projects and helps to advance our core systems and technologies. This role will interface with clients, developers, and project management professionals to find the right solutions for ongoing implementation projects.

As the largest training, modeling, and simulation conference in the world, I/ITSEC brings together research, innovation, and demonstrations of what sometimes feels like science-fiction-come-to-life from across the learning space.

IEEE ICICLE’s 2023 Learning Engineering Conference will occur 24-26 July at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.

It makes sense that when looking for a technology solution, you’d start by looking at technologies. But xAPI is — in many ways — less about technology than it is about process, design, and problem solving.

At the recent GIFTSym11, we presented recent applied research regarding the similarities between the function of AI-enabled intelligent tutoring systems and the process of Learning Engineering.

For the last few years, we’ve gotten a steady stream of calls asking us to design xAPI Profiles for business needs. Eventually, we thought to ourselves — what if we just gave people the power to author xAPI Profiles themselves?
