Description

For over a decade, SCORM has been the industry standard for e-learning, helping learning and development professionals track the completion of courses and recording assessment scores. But now there's a new standard in town: xAPI, offering far larger data sets and the ability to connect multiple platforms. On this week's podcast, Ben Betts from HT2 Labs and Andrew Downes from Watershed join Ross G and Owen to ask what opportunities xAPI creates. If you'd like to share your thoughts on the podcast, you can find us on Twitter @RossGarnerGP, @OwenFerguson, @BBetts and @MrDownes.
