How to try out xAPI tracking with Rise ?
Hi everyone,
I wish to create a simple demo of a xAPI tracking with a Rise course. Basically I wish to see what a learner has "experienced" in a course.
My attempts were not very successful so f...
Hi, Crystal! Thank you for your quick reply. In addition to quiz data, our team would like to track deeper usage and learner engagement data to help us understand how learners interact with content in each Rise module. A few examples:
- How many learners are opening/downloading file attachments?
- Are learners clicking each accordion or tab to consume content?
- Are learners engaging with image and/or quote carousels?
- Are learners clicking buttons or other hyperlinks?
- Are learners flipping flashcards?
- Are learners listening to audio?
- Are learners watching videos?
- Are learners clicking each hotspot in a labeled graphic?
- Are learners completing sorting activities, scenarios, etc.?
- How long are learners spending in each lesson? In the overall module?
- On which devices and/or browsers are learners accessing the module?
Is it possible to set custom xAPI statements to track this type of data?
Hi Crystal,
Are there any plans on the horizon to enhance the xApi output of Rise lessons to be able to report the sorts of things that Julia mentioned above? Is it in the technical roadmap at all?
We're considering trying to build our own javascript library on top of the current Rise xApi package to send this data, but that will obviously be very brittle and break if ya'll update the format.
I tried manually editing the tincan.xml file to configure activities similar to what a quiz reports, but didn't have any luck.
Hi, Brian. It isn't on our immediate roadmap to extend xAPI reporting. We are tracking these requests, however, and we'll update this discussion if we do make any changes.
Hi Crystal, our university is actively evaluating Articulate products along with some other authoring tools that support xAPI. It appears that multiple posts have been requesting the full xAPI reporting capability supported by Rise 360 as Storyline 360 does. We understand it may not be on your immediate roadmap.
Can you please clarify - (1) Whether or not Articulate has planned to extend xAPI reporting with Rise? (2) What is the rough timeline such capability can be expected? Thank you!
Hello, Qun. Rise 360 and Storyline 360 report the same quiz data when using the xAPI standard. We're tracking requests to extend xAPI reporting, but it isn't a feature we're actively developing in Rise 360.
