3. Experience Data:
Automatic Tracking
xAPI:
Getting the Data,
all the Data
•Everything viewed
•All Navigation clicks
•Everything clicked/right clicked etc.
•Test Question Data
•Page Access
•Course Attempted
•Course Completed/Passed/
Incomplete/Failed
•SCORM and xAPI at the same time
•And more…

4. Do more by doing less
Our approach to xAPI is to empower the developer
without creating an added burden or knowledge gap.
Programming is great, but we all don’t need to be
programmers

A global professional training and
certification institute
Course needs to launch and run from
LMS
Need more data than what
SCORM provides
LMS is not an LRS. LRS is a
separate system
I want to collect the
additional data xAPI can
provide, but I still need to
launch in my LMS

6. Cenario or dominKnow – nah both!
Embed HTML Widget
Send some automatic
xAPI data
See SCORM and xAPI
from both platforms

Lots of xAPI data points can be
great, but…
Learning objectives are key
Completion of objectives can
drive adaptive learning and reuse
Test question data realizes true
value when in context of
objectives
Question details are great,
but skills and learning are all
developed (or should be)
objectives
…. and no, we don’t want to
program everything

19. dominKnow: Learning Objectives
Out of the box a
structured approach
Course - Modules –
Learning Objects (contain
content and questions)
Completion of each element
already present

20. dominKnow: Enter xAPI for LOs
Provide the structure in
LRS data
Utilize name and
description from
dominKnow One
Provide what attempt
question results are tied to
