Hype xAPI (Experience API previously Tin Can API)

Hi @monks1975.

At the company that I work we design with Rise and Storyline as well. I have the same issue trying to get Hype into the mix of tools. I've managed to include a small set of projects here and there, but it's not officially part of our toolset yet. (The struggle is real!)

@MaxZieb and I are looking at creating an export wrapper for the xAPI projects that an LMS will accept like a 'scorm' package, but I don't know what the functionality could be with the LMS reading data from it for reporting yet.

I'm just thinking on my feet here, but the following could be possible: A scorm wrapper sends a piece of code to the LMS that tells it the activity is now complete. What is that piece of code? I may just ask the people at Rustici Software. That code could be run on completing the project in Hype.

In my opinion, going forward the reporting or learning analytics available in an LMS is minuscule compared to what is available through an LRS with xAPI. To have a sandpit environment in an LRS is free, and you could experiment in the there to your heart's delight. That being said, a completion or pass flag will be necessary for the LMS.

Melissa Milloway also created an article on how to track Rise interactions with xAPI. If you're interested.

I've started working on the last tutorial for using the xAPI extension. Once that is done, I will share the project here so that you can peruse.

Let me know if you have any other thoughts.
