Capture text responses using built-in xapi functionality
Hi all,
Is there a way to capture text responses using the in-built xAPI triggers in SL360?
I know Devlin Peck has created awesome tutorials on achieving this using javascript but I wondered it there was a way using the available functionality in SL.
Thanks in advance
