You’re excited about the promise of an xAPI-enabled world, but you’ve got a learning management system, a catalog full of SCORM-based courses that you need, and a handful of learning tool vendors that don’t use xAPI. What if you could get the most out of an LMS and an LRS at the same time as you move to your next-generation learning and performance infrastructure?

This session will start with the learner-facing tools that will capture your xAPI data: eLearning, mobile tools, performance support, social and informal activities, and data sources from the business. You’ll review your options when it comes to learning record stores and how they work (or don’t work) with your LMS. Will you work with a stand-alone LRS? A front-end xAPI solution with a built-in LRS? Or an LRS that is aligned with your LMS and your current learning infrastructure? You’ll hear real-world stories of three different xAPI implementations to help you plot your organization’s course toward your next-generation learning ecosystem.

In this session, you will learn:

• How to synthesize activities from a variety of front-end learning tools into a coherent picture of learning and performance
• How to discover possibilities for your next-generation learning and performance infrastructure
• How to identify key partners in your business to engage all along the way as you migrate from SCORM to xAPI
• How other organizations have implemented xAPI, and lessons from their experience
