As xAPI adoption takes hold, learning professionals are increasingly looking to learn about this new(ish) data specification but also what it is used for: analytics, credentialing, personalization and recommendation, and within the workflow. Many of us learning professionals developed our careers and our skillsets in a limited-data, SCORM-based world, and making the leap to xAPI entails a whole new world of opportunity and challenge. Successful adopters of xAPI for learning analytics & action have three things in common: a data-driven mindset, a data tool set, and a strategy for success. xAPI tools and platforms are ready; are you?

In this session we will explore what xAPI is, and share case studies of how it can be used to drive evaluation, measurement, and decision making. We'll wrap up with a roadmap for implementation and insights into next steps for implementation.
