Adapt Learning Community: Best LMS / Incorporating Claro DominKnow Authoring

Daryl,

Thanks for this information. I completely agree about new/flexible approaches to tracking. This was my intuition, but seeing it 'confirmed' by your experience is encouraging.

When I started thinking about tracking for Adapt, and particularly for the scenarios in which I'm interested, I soon thought that tracking should not necessarily be tied neither to 'traditional' LMSs or LRSs (for xAPI), nor to specific data formats.

I recently released a tracking extension (available here) which is fairly general, and it does xAPI (as a 'particular' case). I think SCORM and now xAPI will still be relevant (proably for corporate/formal training settings) ... but there are many cases in which taking advantage of the Adapt API and expressing tracking data in whatever way is most convenient to you, will provide a lot of flexibility (as you seem to have experienced).⋅

Regards.

Hi,

Indeed - SCORM will be there for corporate training (hopefully not for very long) and it's why we've layered our tracking in our authoring tool so you can pick your output:

- No tracking
- Advanced tracking
- SCORM
- Tin-can
- Or a mixture of a few.

I read over your tracking extension - looks good! Some neat bits of code in there.

At Appitierre we've partnered with some companies who have wanted to track what our Platform Bloom tracks and we've been asked to write an Adapt specification for tracking which enables any LMS (old or new) to render advanced tracking analytics inside the LMS without much integration. It should be an interesting project and will push the boundaries of what's already been done with Adapt. Imagine being able to track all the users interactions, points gained, badges earned in a single coherent format...

I'll post more about this once we've finished the project.

Thanks,

Daryl
