What is xAPI?

xAPI, which stands for Experience API, is a specification or protocol that enables the tracking and recording of learning experiences and interactions in a digital format. It is also known as Tin Can API. xAPI allows learning systems and software to communicate and share data about a learner's activities, achievements, and experiences across various platforms, devices, and environments. It provides a standardized way of collecting and storing data on a wide range of learning interactions, including online courses, simulations, mobile learning, virtual reality experiences, and more. By capturing and analyzing this data, xAPI offers insights into learners' progress, performance, and engagement, enabling organizations to personalize learning experiences, assess learning effectiveness, and make data-driven decisions to enhance learning outcomes.
