Enterprise learning organizations are increasingly looking to harness the power of learning data to improve training, performance, and decision making. But with the vast amounts of learning activity data being generated across various platforms and systems, managing and analyzing that data can quickly become overwhelming. This is where SQL LRS comes in.

Did you know that you can use Reactions in SQL LRS to automate pre-requisite checks and course eligibility?

XR is a perfect use case for xAPI. Because most events that occur within an XR learning experience are activity-based, it’s easy to instrument an XR system to produce activity data aligned with xAPI. And because so much of the interesting information about learning that occurs in XR is behavioral and experiential, xAPI’s semantic data model — purpose-built for activities that occur during learning — is both a clear fit and a natural value-add.

Whether you're delivering immersive XR training experiences or managing complex learning requirements through an LMS, the ability to design, implement, and operationalize xAPI is no longer a “nice to have” – it’s a competitive advantage.

A lot of people have been asking us lately about the potential value of xAPI in XR training. It’s a question worth asking as more industries are making an investment in mixed and extended reality — especially for training in high-risk or “difficult to practice” domains. For training and innovation leaders in these spaces, it comes down to: “Does xAPI really matter for XR — and if so, why?”

If the goal is to improve the infrastructure required to support increased efficacy and expanded access, then one could do much worse than to implement proven standards-based and open source capabilities that have been field tested and built for scalability in real world environments.

Neither xAPI nor any of the related IEEE LTSC data standards naturally gravitate towards living in silos. They are all designed to be interconnected and they thrive on interconnectedness.

They only end up in silos if you put them in silos.

For much of the last year, our team at Yet has been engaged in the development of a major upgrade of the xAPI plug-in for the open source Moodle LMS.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?
