It’s all too common to hear someone say “cmi5 is the bridge between SCORM and xAPI” around the office. xAPI came along and was designed to track all kinds of learning activities across different technologies that often sit outside of an LMS, like mobile apps, gaming, simulations, virtual reality and augmented reality.

Hi Andy, We’re currently building a new web application, and we’re looking into using xAPI to capture more data than we can with SCORM.

Or are you just confused by all the abbreviations like: SCORM, AICC, XAPI, and CMI5? A course is SCORM compliant when it meets the requirements of the standard set by the ADL. SCORM and XAPI / Tincan. We now have XAPI , formerly known as (project) TinCan. SCORM and XAPI compared. SCORM and SCORM compliant.

The Department of Defense’s ADL initiative decided upon a version, to move things forward, and thus was born SCORM. As a better example, look how the WWW standard on top of the internet standards has enabled things like, well, this blog! Other initiatives include xAPI, sponsored by ADL to address gaps in SCORM.

What is xAPI? Unlike SCORM, xAPI isn’t limited to learning management systems. Differences between SCORM and xAPI. While xAPI is able to innovate and adapt, taking advantage of new software and features, SCORM is limited in what it can do in order to remain compatible with such an early version. Version limitations.

The Experience API (xAPI) is an updated standard for tracking eLearning; it shows a more complete picture of your learners’ activity than SCORM does. xAPI was created by Rustici Software to replace SCORM (an earlier set of technical standards for eLearning software products). Serious games. Simulations. Informal learning.

Interest in learning more about SCORM (and xAPI) did not slow down in 2021. Most are starting with SCORM support but looking to expand into xAPI, cmi5 and video support next. cmi5 fills that gap by providing the rules and guidance needed to serve xAPI enabled activities in the context of an LMS. So let’s give it a whirl.
