An Easier Path to Federal xAPI Implementation: SQL LRS granted Certification to Field on Platform One
xAPI implementation has become even easier for U.S. Federal Government stakeholders. A Certification to Field (CtF) has been granted for SQL LRS on USAF’s Platform One.
What Reactions Is. And What Reactions is not.
Reactions is a method of applying conditional logic to things happening within SQL LRS.
Reactions: The next innovation for xAPI Learning Record Stores
Reactions — the first xAPI-based assertion generator built directly into a Learning Record Store.
Time is on My Side: New Temporal Modeling Capabilities for Synthetic xAPI Data
One of the most interesting aspects of xAPI is the ability to model time.

Let’s Get Together at I/ITSEC!
As the largest training, modeling, and simulation conference in the world, I/ITSEC brings together research, innovation, and demonstrations of what sometimes feels like science-fiction-come-to-life from across the learning space.
Learning about Learning Engineering: Register for the Upcoming ICICLE Learning Engineering Conference
IEEE ICICLE’s 2023 Learning Engineering Conference will occur 24-26 July at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
Top 10 Things That You Are Going to Mess Up in xAPI: Starting with the Technology
It makes sense that when looking for a technology solution, you’d start by looking at technologies. But xAPI is — in many ways — less about technology than it is about process, design, and problem solving.
Building Bridges for AI within Enterprise Data Architectures: a use case leveraging a Learning Engineering approach in the domain of synthetic training
At the recent GIFTSym11, we presented recent applied research regarding the similarities between the function of AI-enabled intelligent tutoring systems and the process of Learning Engineering.
Centriph, the Authoring Platform for xAPI Profiles: the Beta is now open to the public
For the last few years, we’ve gotten a steady stream of calls asking us to design xAPI Profiles for business needs. Eventually, we thought to ourselves — what if we just gave people the power to author xAPI Profiles themselves?
Moving your xAPI Data from one vendor’s LRS to another
There are many xAPI implementations that have been invested in over the last few years that for one reason or another are now in need of an update and you find that you need to move from one vendor’s LRS to another. But what do you do about all of that data that you’ve collected?
Estimating the Cost of xAPI: Using Data Simulation to Budget Your Implementation
One of the most frustrating things about xAPI is that it is difficult to gauge how much an implementation is going to cost. In order to account for xAPI statement size, volume and throughput, and data design quality when pricing an xAPI solution, we recommend building a synthetic data set representative of the data that you expect to run through your system.
xAPI Profiles: What You Need to Know
Whereas an xAPI data statement describes an action or activity, xAPI Profiles combine xAPI data statements to describe experiences. They are fundamental to unlocking the power of xAPI. And they are notoriously difficult to design. Fear not. We’ve designed a presentation to help you to understand how to design perfect xAPI Profiles.
A Simple Way to Publish xAPI Statements from Unity
We recently wrapped up a project that offered teams building a dozen different Unity-based extended reality (XR) applications the ability to have engagement data from each application populate a mission-control style engagement dashboard in real time. So rather than one team / one dashboard, the goal here was all teams / one dashboard.
Building Bridges: Learning Engineering and AI-enabled Intelligent Tutors
In the same way that Learning Engineering itself is developing into a sort of bridge between these disciplines in the pursuit of scaling meaningful and measurable learning experiences, likewise, as a data broker between the worlds of synthetic training and distributed learning analytics, GIFT serves as a sort of AI-enabled technological bridge.
We’re Hiring: Full-stack Engineer Wanted
April 2023 — Yet Analytics is looking for a curious and solution-oriented full stack software engineer to help us build cutting-edge learning data products and open source offerings.
Extending the Total Learning Architecture into the World of Experiential Learning and Synthetic Training
With an objective to provide “a data strategy for measuring the longitudinal impact of synthetic, semi-synthetic, and live training experiences on individual and team competency development,” STEEL-R brings together a variety of standards-based capabilities from the world of synthetic scenario design with the core standards-based capabilities of ADL’s Total Learning Architecture (TLA).
Challenges of Modeling Longitudinal Development
Within a research context, there is a need for large and relevant activity data sets to test hypotheses regarding competency assertion. But where do these data sets come from?
xAPI Cybersecurity: Best Practices and Developing Standards
In this webinar hosted by the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative, Shelly Blake-Plock reviews best practices in xAPI-related cybersecurity and talks about the development of a new IEEE standard to support the secure implementation of xAPI.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about xAPI Profiles
If xAPI is the way to describe and track learning activities, xAPI Profiles is the way to describe and track learning experiences. Check out this recorded webinar from the xAPI Cohort to learn all about the power of xAPI Profiles.
