Does Captivate content work with the new standard, Experience API (xAPI)?

[BettyCole]

I have developed SCORM conformant courses, but my current customer-base does not use a Learning Management System (LMS).  The eXperience API (xAPI) tracks user experiences using a Learning Record Store (LRS) rather than an LMS.

According to Adobe marketing, Captivate 8.01 (which I have) publishes content for use with xAPI.  The Captivate help does not include any directions or assistance on xAPI.

Has anyone used Captivate products with xAPI and an LRS?  Can you point me in a direction to find out more information on this??

My fear is that this will require far more programming experience (xAPI is open source) than I have.

Thanks for any suggestions!

You can publish the Captivate project as xAPI output by going to Edit > Preferences > Quiz > Reporting and selecting TinCan from the Standard dropdown list.

However, Captivate can only track the same elements as that of a SCORM output even with TinCan.

Thanks, Sreekanth, for your quick response.

I can see that we will need to further define the customer requirements and will probably need to use multiple tools.  Some of the advantages of xAPI is tracking multiple scores and attempts.
