xAPI Full Capabilities in Rise
Sep 10, 2019
By

I'm building a number of Rise modules for a client and they love the platform, however they are looking for a solution that will allow them to capture robust metrics from the learning using xAPI to show how learners are interacting with the content. Examples include tracking Knowledge Check selections and attempts, interaction with audio, video and interactive blocks, etc. Currently the xAPI tracking in Rise is no different than what SCORM provides. Alternatively, could the content be exported in a way that allows developers to add in their own API statements post export? Data and analytics are becoming a massive ask from our clients and I'm still only able to accomplish this by building our own custom platforms.

Adding in my vote also and agree with Richard Tomchuk for such an expensive authoring tool we should as users be able to get half-decent analytics from it. Needs what is now consisdered basic analytical functionality.

Please add my vote too! This is needed.
Yeah this needs fixing so adding my vote, the way Rise quizzes report to our LRS is as good as useless for looking at trends so we're having to evaluate other options.
Adding my vote here as well. This is a very necessary feature for capturing meaningful data. Not having this capability limits my use of Rise, which is a shame because I love the app. Hopefully, we will be able to see this functionality added very soon.
Also adding my +1 here. Custom xAPI statements should be integral part of both Rise and Storyline. Little baffled that this isn't the case already considering Articulate is one of the leading eLearning authoring tool providers and it's not that xAPI is a brand new, not established protocol..
Adding my vote! Hugely essential feature!!!
Is there any update here? Does Rise have any plan to truly integrate fully with all xAPI has to offer? If not, that's going to be a huge problem for a lot of people pretty soon.
Adding my vote to this as well. Thank you!
This is another 2 year old thread with people looking for some kind of communication. Is there any chance of getting an actual update or some kind of roadmap?
Hey Pankaj!
I know this is old, but have there been any developments with Rise and the xAPI Video Profile? Also, have you seen anyone use it with Adapt?
We would love this capability as well!
Adding my vote!
Can you share the hacks that you've used to get some metrics with Rise?
More crickets from Articulate. At this point it seems clear that they either can’t add this capability or do not wish to. Very disappointing.
Staff have not responded on this in over a year. Let's keep adding votes and asking for updates. Seems like they could at least somehow add SL block templates (hidden from preview) that hold the JS statements, Similar to the new xAPI statement builder in SL360.
One More Vote Here!
Yep another vote here... PLEASE update us on any improvements/decisions/roadmaps/work done/ANYTHING would do really at this point... even just pop in to say "Hi" for goodness sake.
Would like to know of the status on this request. RISE is a great rapid e-learning dev tool, but without the ability to control xAPI statements (and output more than basic SCORM), it is hard to justify adoption. xAPI 2.0 is due to be ratified in 2022 by the IEEE as the new standard for interoperable learning data but if designers cannot implement it (it is not truly supported) then the rapid development will be offset by the lack of data we can acquire from our design, and DATA is going to win out in the end. We must be able to measure, report on and improve our learning.
As designers we must learn to look behind the promises of xAPI support (and we are); it often feels much like buying "Organic" Food.
Adding my vote. Would be nice to "enable" xapi statements as a developer on standard rise blocks.
This thread has been open for almost 3 years now...it would be great to know from someone @staff if this is on the roadmap yet (and the progress of it if so), or if this is still a topic that we need to be upvoting? (+1 from me as well, if votes are still needed)
Since there is already a pretty good xAPI statement builder for SL360, (while I'm not a developer) I'm assuming that it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to adapt it as an extra section to the interaction block settings as well.
I came here because I had the same questions about analytics for Rise content. We have no way of knowing anything about our students' usage of our content. SCORM is not helpful at all. From what I can tell, Articulate's answer is to use Rise.com instead of 360.
Our company is also looking for analytics for RISE 360 content. Here is my vote. It would be nice to enable this and get user experience data from RISE360
My vote, as well.
xAPI is something we want to use to track which links are clicked the most so we can update our Rise courses appropriately. I originally saw details online that "Rise supports xAPI", which led me to believe that it supports xAPI functionality beyond simply what SCORM already provides. Sadly, it sounds like that isn't true. There's no reason to use xAPI on Rise if we get essentially what SCORM already outputs. We might use a Storyline block for some of this functionality, but this feels like a band-aid approach.
We'll have to find another solution to track per-link clicks, etc. that xAPI can do but Articulate Rise cannot support.
As a resource for others, Devlin Peck, a member of the community, has written a detailed how-to of using xAPI with Storyline (but not Rise): https://www.devlinpeck.com/tutorials/full-guide-xapi-storyline
Rise 360 does support xAPI for Page clicks ("Experienced & progressed tags"), BUT it only reports an unreadable ID URL code to the LRS, not the Page/Unit Title. That ID number is worthless in the reporting. The Page Title in the xml file, so Again I ask Articulate why they can't report that human readable title to the LRS.
