Welcome

The following resources have been curated for the benefit of the xAPI community and members of the broader learning and training ecosystem.

Note that this is an ongoing work-in-progress. Please contact the chair with any questions or requests for new resources to be added. For the most part, the sources are all non-commercial in nature. Copyright for all documents is retained by the authors of those documents.

The documents are broken into three broad sections — xAPI, xAPI Profiles, and Historical TAGxAPI documents. A section on the Total Learning Architecture will be added in the future.
