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.

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.
