xAPI Specification

An xAPI statement requires an Actor, Verb, and Object, with optional Result, Context, and Timestamp fields. This structure maps real-world learning activities to educational assessments, enabling interoperable data tracking across LMSs and analytics pipelines.

The cmi5 profile defines a set of rules and standard requirements for compliant xAPI statements in Learning Management Systems. It ensures interoperability by providing validation guidance for instructional designers and developers implementing tracking in VLEs.

The ADL Tincan verbs registry provides standardized vocabulary for xAPI statements. Referencing this registry ensures your Actor/Verb/Object structure uses correct, interoperable terms for designing statements across LMSs and analytics pipelines.

Yes, xAPI statements can track educational assessments in an LMS by utilizing the Actor, Verb, Object, Result, and Context structure. This maps real-world assessment data into learning analytics pipelines for instructional evaluation.

xAPI Context provides situational metadata for a statement, while Extensions allow custom data fields. Both enhance the Actor/Verb/Object structure, ensuring detailed educational assessment tracking across standard LMSs and VLEs.

Validate xAPI statements by checking the Actor/Verb/Object structure, referencing standard activity types, and ensuring cmi5 profile compliance. This guarantees correct statement design for interoperable learning analytics across LMSs.
