Automatic xAPI statements from Storyline Files
Hello Articulate Community,
I have been tasked with exploring the implementation of an LRS system. I have noticed that Storyline automatically sends statements when a user enters and leaves a slid...
xAPI is designed to provide much finer insights to learner's activities so more numerous outbound statements is expected. Frankly I'm surprised you're seeing two; xAPI can track click/tap activities in fine detail, etc beyond the back/next
If the LRS you are evaluating limits statement capture, I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere as the commercial grade LRS systems I've leveraged for client projects easily handle thousands of statements without blinking an eye
Hi Brian,
I am familiar with what can be recorded.
My issue is that it is sending two statements automatically, and they are not purposefully built statements (ones we really want or need recorded). A greater level of control is needed.
My research has shown that most LRS have some upper limit on statements per day on top of a total storage limit. And they offer tiered packages to expand. An on-premise solution is probably not as limited, but is not an option in an early exploratory phase. I'd be open to hearing your recommendations on particular vendors.
I think we are dealing with different volumes. My unit runs 50+ courses (most with 6+ modules, around 60 slides each), with 10-50 learners. So two statements might not be much, but it adds up quick. If added to every course and module, we could possibly hit more than a million total for a semester. On average, I'd say there are three statements we'd want to pull per slide, but if two are added automatically its close to doubling the amount of statements and the cost associated. I am calculating on a single course at first and would easily be more than 10,000 statements.
