Following the arrival of xAPI into the mainstream at TheeLearning Guild’s DevLearn 2016 Conference & Expo, HT2 Labs is sharing insights into howorganizations can use learning analytics to better understand performance at Learning Solutions 2017 Conference & Expo later this month.
Ahead of the highly anticipated release of their new book, Investigating Performance: Design and Outcomeswith xAPI, HT2 Labs data scientist Janet Laane-Effron will co-host thepre-conference xAPI Camp alongside Sean Putman for a day filled with xAPI case studies, problemsolving, and networking.
Learning analytics and xAPI are fast becoming a key area ofinterest for organizations looking to better understand performance, asLaane-Effron explains: “xAPI’s potential is already being realized by earlyadopters creating benefits not just for L&D but for their organizations. Sean[Putman] and I have seen businesses use xAPI data to build real understandingof course impacts on performance, as well as to inform high-value improvementsin course design.
“It’s been exciting to see the growth of knowledge in thexAPI community. It used to be that people came to xAPI Camp to learn what xAPIis; now we have early adopters coming back to share what they’ve learned andwhat they’ve achieved. We’re moving from ‘what is xAPI?’ to ‘how to use xAPI.’”
Continuing the data theme, on day one of Learning Solutions 2017,Laane-Effron and Putman will also deliver a morning session as part of the Dataand Measurement Track at 10:45a on Wednesday, March 22. “Investigating Performance Using Data” (Session LS105) will take attendees on a deep diveinto how data should shape learning system design, including exploring thebasic principles of how to use data effectively and how to design to providemeaningful feedback, and looking at outside inspiration from fields that arealready doing this well: user experience design (UXD), web analytics, andbusiness intelligence.
