xAPI is shorthand for eXperience API, formerly known as TinCan API. It's a very small blob of JSON data used to send small messages about activity to a backend, typically NoSQL based. xAPI is a very small yet critical standard to the long term viability of Open Educational Resource content and building more ethical tracking and data management systems.
I hope we'll have a guest speaker help unpack this concept. This is the last lab and will also set the stage for the final project which is to prototype and envision what an xAPI based visualization of student activity could look like, how the data is stored, where it's stored, and what the model for access and relationships looks like.
This is the final boss
lab.
