According to this article, "The best way to learn about xAPI and discover what it can do for your organization is to jump in and create a project." This is true, I would content, of pretty much everything. What I wish the authors had done was to point to a set of tutorials that would allow readers to do that. Some of the implementations mentioned - extracting xAPI data from a Unity 3D game, generating xAPI statements from Amazon Alexa skills, capturing learning data from Vimeo, etc. - would be really good skills to learn. Alas, this article touts xAPI learning cohorts, where the cohorts break into teams, and where many participants choose not to do a cohort project. Isn't this what always happens in these learning projects? We know what the 'best way' is - but in practice, we dilute it, so we're pretending to learn, but not really learning. Ah, but I might sign up anyways. After all, it's free.
