ONPOINT’S BUSINESS FOCUS TO XAPI:
AN EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH
¡ Early commitment to “the xAPI movement”
¡ Participation in ADL’s BAA efforts
¡ Initial “Project Tin Can” interviewee, mobile thought contributor
¡ Needed to recalibrate our thinking
¡ What’s different about xAPI compared with SCORM? Or standard APIs?
¡ How (and where) can xAPI really help our customers (and our team)?
¡ What limitations are there to overcome?
¡ Had to devise new solution sets
¡ Design/deliver new modules, tools, utilities
¡ Develop new go-to-market strategies

SO,WE STARTED OUT WITH LOTS OF BIG IDEAS!
You can’t boil
the ocean, right?

Or can we?? Consider possible approaches.
Expensive with no good outcomes. Plausible, but not predictable. Aha! Practical!
SO,WE STARTED OUT WITH LOTS OF BIG IDEAS!
Great Quote Today:
“Collect the experiences that
matter in a business context.”
