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.

We could use Storyline blocks to add code, BUT the problem remains that Articulate will not fix the "PLAY" arrow on Storyline blocks (in Rise). which means you can't hide the code undercover. User is forced to see and to click the big Play Arrow on all mobile devices :-( Please tell us that is getting fixed soon.
It's a similar level of frustration with quiz reporting. Trying to correlate useful data like the most frequently selected incorrect answer, or the hardest question is totally ridiculous.
This thread has been open for 3 years and there's not a sniff of progress.
I have given up hope, and now we're using Adapt to supplement the lack of meaningful data. I love Rise and I would really like it to be the product it deserves to be, but that feels a long way off right now.
Any update on having xAPI metrics available in RISE? My client is also asking for this feature.
3 years and no update on this? Wow...
yep, another vote for xAPI + rise over here!
Please provide status on updating RISE to have xAPI capabilities (current = 2.0, soon to be ratified as a standard by IEEE). With this capability, we would finally have a tool that is completely capable of supporting data-informed training improvement.
I am also voting for this feature!
please add this feature
Rise has its own LMS now. It offers full trackability of its rise elearning. I guess the reason why Articulate has been cautious about fully enabling xAPI statements is because it will direclty compete with its own LMS. Just a theory. And adding another vote to this.
That would be really unfortunate. Switching isn't an option for most of us if a) we're locked into a contract, and b) we need an LMS with more than just e-learning capability,
This theory is correct. In other posts I've seen about this topic, the company's response has been to use Rise.com (the LMS) if you want any kind of useful data. As someone who works in higher education, I get the sense that Articulate products are more geared towards corporate training because there's no way colleges and universities are going to dump their LMS and adopt Articulate's LMS.
I doubt most companies will either. Easier to switch authoring tools than to switch LMS's.
we're in the process of adopting H5P. The .com version has a Canvas integration and there's all kinds of usage reports available. The goal is to eventually use it to replace Rise content.
xAPI is not intended to replace an LMS. In an eLearning environment, they really can work hand in hand. The LMS does need cmi5 support to report scorm data correctly to the LRS. The current xAPI support in Rise360 could be more useful if Articulate would address issues already outline above. Need real page names, etc. Storyline Blocks could also extend data from Rise360 with xAPI and JS statements if Articulate would FIX the issues with "Blocks", e.g. the useless "Play arrow" on mobile devices, which prevents you from hiding code blocks.
Is voting still being tracked? Hope so. Please add this as a "yes." And would love an update.
Hi All -
I'd also like to add vote to this adding this capability. It's essential to helping to support our learning teams as well the end users.
Thanks
So far we have nearly 65 comments on this thread, most of them "votes" for this feature. How many more are needed before Articulate addresses it?
Just like all the other 3-4 year old Rise threads, it won’t get addressed because there is no clear route to monetisation. It’s disappointing, but I’ve been through all the stages of grief and I’m at acceptance.
It goes back to one of my previous complaints (I think I even opened a feature request). Articulate allows you to view Requests that are being worked on, but no way to track or view requests or no# of votes for things collecting dust :-( As dedicated users and customers you would think that Articulate Support would at least address the issues in this forum thread and provide an update, or a rejection, or Something.
+1 vote for adding this functionality. Thanks!
+1 vote for adding this please!
Just had another client ask me about xAPI capabilities and Rise. any updates on this?
Also a vote for me! For now, I guess we can just build the SL course with the "look and feel" of Rise (and add all the xAPI stuff we are all looking for)? What do ya'll think?
Adding my request. Really poor that xAPI is not implemented within Rise
Is this problem still here? Is there no progress on this?
