Although I’ve been working in the e-learning industry for well over 10 years, I never try to pretend that I know everything. In fact, I’ve always been forthcoming about my blind spots. For example, I wouldn’t know the first thing about editing JavaScript—or any code for that matter! And that’s okay. What makes our industry special, is that you don’t need to be an expert on everything.
Another one of my blindspots happens to be xAPI. While I understand what it is conceptually, I’d be lost if someone asked me to write an xAPI statement. And I don’t even know what that means! I think I heard someone say that once at a conference! :)
For this month’s Ask a Trainer episode, I couldn’t think of anyone better than Megan Torrance to help me tackle your questions about all things xAPI. Enjoy!
