The Experience API (xAPI), also known as the Tin Can API, is an e-learning software specification that allows learning content and learning systems to speak to each other in a manner that records and tracks all types of learning experiences. Learning experiences are recorded in a Learning Record Store (LRS). LRSs can exist within traditional Learning Management Systems (LMSs) or on their own. ==Summary== The Experience API (Tin Can API) is commonly considered the successor to SCORM. SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) has been the de facto e-learning standard for packaging e-learning content to be delivered to LMSs, but there are several drawbacks to SCORM. The new Experience API allows trainers to deploy several new capabilities that were not supported with SCORM, such as: *Taking e-learning outside of the web browser *E-learning in native mobile applications〔 *More control over learning content〔 *Solid security using Oauth *Platform transition; e.g. start e-learning on a mobile device, finish it on a computer〔 *The ability to track games and simulations〔 *The ability to track real-world performance *Team-based e-learning〔 *Tracking learning plans and goals The Experience API (Tin Can API) is an open source API. It is a Representational state transfer web service that uses JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) for its data format. The web service allows software clients to read and write experiential data in the form of “statement” objects. In their simplest form, statements are in the form of “I did this”, or more generally “actor verb object”.〔 More complex statement forms can be used. There is also a built in query API to help filter recorded statements, and a state API that allows for a sort of “scratch space” for consuming applications. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Experience API (Tin Can API)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
