How can I use Storyline 360 variables in custom xAPI statements as Number (not as String)
Hi,
Perhaps somebody knows this and I miss something obvious :-)
I have a few Storyline360 Number variables.
I am modifying the variable with a Web Object (a little game).
In the end, story...
Hi Everyone,
I have some exciting news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 82, we’ve included important fixes and new features.
One of the fixes we’ve included is:
You no longer need to add quotes to variable values in custom xAPI statements.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
- Can I just ask, does using xAPI necessarily go through writing your own code?
- When you publish the same course on SCORM 2004, or xAPI is something inherently different?
- How do you instruct the LMS to capture all those special actions that xAPI is advertised to be good at?
Thanks
xApi data basically goes to a LRS ( Learning Record Store ) and inthere mostly there is some sort of dashboard to see all your recorded data and get analytics on it. Some offer data to be sent back into the LMS so your users/admins can check any xApi data directly on the LMS without knowing anything about the LRS. At Twente University they succesfully created courses that sent data to Veracity LRS and then teachers could check it out on dashboard in Instructure Canvas LMS. They experimented with Storyline as tool to create xApi compliant courses, but due to things as mentioned in this post Storyline failed.
Main issue now is still how to ensure xApi data is easily sent to the LRS. Storyline still fails at an easy workflow for that. Tools that out-of-the-box create easy xApi generation are for example H5P and Xerte. Both tools create xApi data without any extra coding. But those tools then lack custom interactivity. You can create your own H5P components, but its a lot of coding too.
