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.

One year ago, we kicked off a project with ADL to develop tools and resources to help accelerate the adoption of cmi5 , and ultimately xAPI, within both the DoD and across the industry as a whole. The cmi5 spec is an xAPI Profile designed for tracking xAPI enabled learning activities from an LMS.

For the last 18 years, some of the most important work we’ve done at Rustici Software has been the standards-based efforts we’ve worked on with the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL). This initiative will remove the barrier to entry and obstacles that the DoD and many organizations face when adopting xAPI and cmi5.

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.
