The blend of Experience API (xAPI in education) and analytics prove to be the actual crux of success for any L&D organization. xAPI lms in education industry has been developed to capture and transmit metadata about events related to the segments. Companies are now using xAPI data to get information about any type of user interaction like time spent on the content, the time taken to complete the course, what content the learner started but did not complete, what piece of content they interacted the most. Such data integrate with viewing analytics to give you easy to read reports that give you a clear picture of the performance of the learning solution and its impact on the learner.

The xAPI model in education industry will empower the administrator or the trainer to drill down to identify successful learning behaviours of high performing learners and group similar patterns. These set of patterns may include multiple behaviours and activities that are more likely to result in overall learning success when practiced in a specific sequence and combination. And the same can be replicated and prescribed to underperforming learners and can be used to develop personalized learning models as well.
