Interoperability - LTI and Experience API (Formerly TinCan)
Download as PPTX, PDF11 likes11,951 views
The 2014 ScaffoldLMS webinar series discussed interoperability standards like LTI and xAPI, which enhance learning experiences through better integration of external tools and content. The series emphasized the benefits of using these standards for tracking learning activities and improving efficiencies, while also addressing challenges with older standards like SCORM. Sessions included practical demonstrations and discussions on integrating these standards within the ScaffoldLMS platform.

- 4. Activity 1 INTRODUCTION POLL
- 5. Objectives What we hope you will get out of the session 1. Introduce interoperability standards What are interoperability standards? Why have they changed? 2. Using LTI and xAPI Why are these useful to learning? Ideas for good practice 3. Integrating in ScaffoldLMS Using LTI activities in ScaffoldLMS Understanding the new log store through xAPI
- 6. Section 1 UNDERSTANDING INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS
- 7. SCORM Packaged content modules
- 8. When to use SCORM SCORM Content with a relatively long shelf life that requires delivery and tracking via an LMS especially where the same content is delivered to different clients or different parts of an organisation. Examples • Scenario-based simulations • Compliance training • Product training • Introducing new content Benefits • Improved learning experience • Greater efficiencies and cost savings • Reduced risk “The e-Learning Standard” Content Package
- 9. Challenges Changing social and technological milieu 1. Rigid Data Model SCORM’s rigid data model restricts access to data from outside of the LMS and does not permit multiple ways for the LMS and courseware to exchange data.
- 10. Challenges Changing social and technological milieu 2. Single Learner Model SCORM is defined on a single learner model, with data that only describes an individual. This generally excludes scope for social, informal and self-directed learning as well offering poor support for technologies such as virtual worlds and social media.
- 11. Challenges Changing social and technological milieu 3. Complex training software Many simulations, games, and complex data processors are not web-based or dynamically change between sessions, especially full-scale simulators. SCORM’s static data model is not defined to extend to this type of data. Rescue Medical Services
- 12. Challenges Changing social and technological milieu 4. Non-content Package SCORMs data model makes it difficult to support ‘non-content package’ methods of training that are especially presented by emerging technologies within mobile apps and augmented reality.

- 13. Activity 2 AUDIENCE QUESTION • Are there any other types of learning you are trying to integrate?
- 14. Section 2 LTI OR XAPI
- 15. IMS LTI Solution Standard, extendable way of integrating rich learning applications Applications and content are web-based, externally hosted Grade and outcome data can be returned to the LMS Two new standards ADL xAPI (formerly TinCan) Experience tracking integration utilising activity streams Can support online or offline activity - session-less communication Content can exist in any system (i.e. outside of the LMS)
- 16. IMS LTI Learning Tools Interoperability
- 17. LTI Apps Increasing list of educational apps supporting LTI https://www.edu-apps.org/index.html
- 18. • Existing tool • Bespoke commission Develop • Configure integration Deploy • Teacher can add to LMS course as activity Utilise LTI Workflow Basic implementation plan Features • Tool can be written in any coding language as long as it is web-based; • LMS upgrades have no impact on the external tool reducing risk; • External content can contain social interactions, simulations, and games • Teachers can deploy different tools relevant to their programme • Detailed reporting or analytics are provided within the external tool and not constrained by LMS or static data model
- 19. ADL xAPI Experience API (formerly known as TinCan) Recording Experience Statement freedom: lets you record almost any activity History freedom: share data and transcripts across systems Device freedom: any enabled device without need for constant network connection Workflow freedom: your content isn’t tied to an LMS.

- 21. • Existing tool • Bespoke commission Develop • Integrate Learning Record Store (LRS) Deploy • Analyse LRS activity data Utilise xAPI Workflow Basic implementation plan Features • Requires a Learning Record Store (LRS) – a database of experience; • LMS may be used as a LRS or they can be independent; • External content can contain social interactions, simulations, and games • Teachers can analyse different learning experiences • Detailed reporting or analytics are provided within the LRS
- 22. LTI Limitations Managing expectations for what the standards offer xAPI No support for non web-based activities External tool must be launched via LMS Learning data may be distributed across several platforms Integration with non-browser applications may become complex Distinguishing claimed from actual experiences Capturing information from systems that do not support the API The scale/context of experience is lacking in the statement based approach Privacy issue tracking users in their personal time/space.
