xAPI is a data and interface standard that lets software applications capture and share (big) data on human performance, along with associated context information (i.e., “experience” data). Combined with learning analytics, xAPI promises to revolutionize the way education and training are conducted, managed, and measured.
"xAPI” stands for Experience Application Programming Interface. xAPI can be implemented in any digital environment, including mobile learning, simulations, virtual worlds, serious games, real-world activities, mobile and wearable devices, experiential learning, and more.
