Following on from our last webinar on Sharing our TinCan/xAPI@Work Journey, we give an update on creating a working proof of concept for TinCan/xAPI. Dr Kirsty Kitto will presents on the work being done in developing a toolkit, which uses xAPI to store data about student participation in learning activities designed using standard social media tools such as Facebook etc.
We discuss:
What is the status of adoption of TinCan/xAPI in the industry ? How fast or slowly is it moving now ?What can you realistically achieve now with xAPI ? What is the road map you need to take ?Are there opportunities for the corporate and education sectors to collaborate to increase adoption ?

39. Analytics
1. Temporal Activity
When did a learning activity happen?
2. Content Analysis
What are students discussing and sharing?
3. Social Network Analysis
Have networks developed? How have the networks evolved?

52. What is status of
adoption of
TinCan/xAPI in the
industry ? Is it a lot
of hype or is there
substance ?
One thing I'm keen to
utilise xAPI for, is to
create internally hosted
websites on a topic,
using all the power,
possibilities and
interactivity the html
format gives us - and
then using xAPI to
track back who has
done what.

53. Two questions:
1 - Can xAPI -
ultimately -
replace an LMS?
2 - is there an app
to show my (a
student's) results
and records from
an LRS?
