Getting Started with xAPI and dominKnow | ONE

When authoring content with dominKnow | ONE, a large number of features will automatically generate xAPI statements.  All you need to do is author the content!

The following items will auto generate xAPI statements:

• Page Access
• Course Completion Status and Scores
• Learning Object status
• Module Status
• Test Question Details
• Practice Questions

The following will auto generate xAPI statements, but can be configured to be turned on or off in your publishing profile settings:

• Learner Search information
• Player Controls (next, back, etc.)
• Menu/Outline access
• Attached/linked resource access
• Glossary term access
• Reference/citations access
• Drag and Drop actions
• Actions (click/double click/mouseover, etc.)
• Media (play, pause, complete)
• Components (Tabs, flip cards, carousels, etc.)
• Inline Practice Questions
• Scenario Widget Data

Statement data can also be configured to:

• Be anonymous
• Include Browser information

When taking advantage of automatic statements, you only have to author, but it is good practice to label items.

For individual elements this means changing the default label to something meaningful to you.  Learners won't see this information, but it will be included with the statement. 

To change, select the element on the stage and in the black bar: breadcrumb trail click on the default name, and change it to the desired name. Hint: Click on the element in the bar and then press CTRL-A or CMD-A to select all and then just start typing.

When labeling individual pages, modules or learning objects, select the item and the properties button, then adjust the Title and/or Description information.

With your publishing profiles you can set how you would like your xAPI packages published and what types of statements to send.

To get the full power of dominKnow | ONE xAPI statements you need to set up an LRS end point (or two!). Once set up these end points can be used when you publish an LRS package. Select the article below for a show me/try me/guide me demonstration.

Once you are ready to publish, select Publish -> LRS.

In the publishing screen, under Learning Standard, pick Supplied by LRS if you are loading the package into the LRS, or choose an LRS endpoint if you are loading the package elsewhere or hosting it through dominKnow Convey.

In the xAPI Data section select the LRS endpoint(s) where you want your xAPI data sent. 

Last pick the right profile, if you haven't already set it at the course level properties and then publish!
