xAPI: Profile SCORM

If you need any help in filling out this wiki page, please visit our ILIAS Community FAQ.

1 Initial Problem

The initial problem is being described by ADL (http://adlnet.github.io/xAPI-SCORM-Profile/dev/dual-track.html) as follows:
"
Dual Tracking uses the existing SCORM infrastructure to deliver content and both SCORM and xAPI to record the learner's progress.
ADL recognizes that many organizations already have an e-Learning infrastructure in place. The costs in building up those systems, experience, and content makes it cost prohibitive to make a complete switch to xAPI. But the Experience API was designed with the understanding that the API may be part of a larger system, such as an enterprise LMS. Also, the xAPI is effective as a stand-alone system to collect, and provide access to, learner experiences without the coupling to content required by SCORM LMSs. This first approach of leveraging the xAPI understands that organizations have a dependence on an LMS and offers a low-impact solution to xAPI adoption, with benefits such as:

  • Current investments in SCORM are not lost.
  • Content is still launched by the LMS.
  • Learners' progress and status is still stored in the LMS.
  • Minimal effort to begin using the xAPI. See below

2 Conceptual Summary

The key benefits for ILIAS users are that a smooth transition from SCORM to xAPI can take place and that data in the LRS is available tools specialized in Learning Analytics.
In the 'xAPI Learning Modules Object', the SCORM profile should be selectable in addition to the xAPI: Support of multiple Assignable Units.
