eLearningMind

But in 2010, after putting out a call for vendors to develop a set of next-gen eLearning standards, the governing body of SCORM, Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), tasked a company—Rustici Software—with that responsibility. The result was SCORM 2.0. The effort was dubbed Project Tin Can. And what is xAPI used for? The answer?

The next chapter in Rustici Engine’s LRS xAPI performance

Rustici Software

Rustici Engine has supported xAPI (the Experience API) since 2011 when we created the initial version for ADL. To picture how the change can be so dramatic, let’s go back to the example of looking up the most recent 100 statements for a particular “related agent” in a book. of the time for that query, without slowing down writes.

It was done as a part of a research project commissioned by The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative. Later on, it was officially renamed as “ xAPI ” or “ Experience API ” by ADL.

Trivantis

The Experience API (xAPI) is an updated standard for tracking eLearning; it shows a more complete picture of your learners’ activity than SCORM does. The ADL —or Advanced Distributed Learning—recognized the need for a set of standards to ensure that programmers write code that can play well with other eLearning software. Serious games.

Tin Can API, the evolution of SCORM

Paradiso

Originally developed by Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), an initiative of the Unite States Department of Defense, SCORM was designed to standardize and modernize their training courses.

So, normally it is ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning – a research group) that handles all the aspects related to SCORM. However, it is not mandatory to go through the process via the ADL route only. However, SCORM is the base on which Tin Can is built, even if it becomes redundant, it’ll never be out of the picture!
