Experience API Masterclass (International)

The Experience API (xAPI) is the language that connects people, content, and learning data.

It makes it possible to read learning experiences, measure competence, and design intelligent learning systems.

But knowing xAPI is not enough — you need to know how to apply it.

That’s why we created the Experience API Masterclass, an advanced Cartesiani program designed to train professionals who can design, develop, and govern xAPI ecosystems end to end.

Who it’s for

The Masterclass is designed for those who want to bring the xAPI standard from the lab to real-world projects, within their own organization or for their clients.

🎯 Ideal participants:

• Data & People Analytics professionals
• HR, L&D and Digital Learning professionals
• Instructional Designers and Learning Technologists
• Developers and Solution Architects working in HRTech
• IT Managers responsible for HR and learning systems integrations

It’s suitable both for those who have already attended xAPI Playground (either the facilitator or beginner version) and for anyone with a solid background in learning design or technology. In short: for anyone who wants to make xAPI a real professional skill in their portfolio.

Goals

To bring your technical, design and strategic xAPI skills to a state-of-the-art level.
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply xAPI 1.0.3 and 2.0 logic and structure
• Design trackable learning experiences
• Build communication flows with LRS (inbound and outbound)
• Analyze data and create dashboards
• Document and manage xAPI Data Governance

Program structure
The Masterclass is divided into two complementary parts:

Part One – Core Foundations (5 modules)
Shared by all participants, this part provides a solid, comprehensive and operational understanding of the xAPI standard.

1. Fundamentals of xAPI: the origin, logic and structure of the standard. Differences between SCORM and xAPI, the LRS ecosystem and interoperability.
2. xAPI’s Anatomy: a complete, in-depth analysis of statements and their properties (versions 1.0.3 and 2.0). Naming, vocabularies, profiles and best practices.
3. Learning Experience Design & xAPI: how to design learning experiences that leverage xAPI’s full potential — from authoring tools to no-code and low-code environments.
4. Interacting with the l’LRS (in e out): how to send statements and query the LRS. REST API basics, Postman practice, queries and search parameters.
5. xAPI Multiverse: ecosystems, tools and strategies: LRS architectures, profiles, CMI5, conversion tools, automation and key resources.

After these five modules, you’ll have a complete and hands-on mastery of xAPI — ready to move into your chosen specialization track.

Part Two – Specialization (3 vertical modules)

After the shared foundation, each participant chooses a specialization track to earn their professional certification. During the first phase, participants will also have their first one-to-one coaching session, to refine both their track choice and the project work they want to develop.

🎨  Track 1 – xAPI Instructional Designer

Designing trackable, dynamic, and adaptive learning experiences.

• How to create xAPI-ready courses (Articulate Storyline, H5P).
• Designing statements aligned with user actions.
• Using LRS data to adapt the course and generate real-time feedback.
• Best practices for documentation and testing.

🎯 Project Work: design and build an advanced xAPI-tracked e-learning course or module.

---

💻  Track 2 – Learning Experience Developer

Building xAPI-driven experiences and no/low-code integrations.

• Develop interactive learning experiences using Make, Zapier, Thunkable, Airtable, ElevenLabs, ChatGPT, and more.
• Integrate sensors, AI, chatbots, IoT and external systems.
• Automate app–LRS connections to extend xAPI beyond traditional e-learning.
• Create learning microservices and data-driven flows.

🎯 Project Work: prototype and deliver a functional xAPI experience (e.g., no-code app, automated flow, or custom interface).

---

📊 Track 3 – Governance & Analytics Specialist

Governing, analyzing, and communicating learning data.

• Design an xAPI Data Governance system: policies, roles, versioning and security.
• Create xAPI profiles and vocabularies.
• Analyze and visualize data (Veracity LRS, Power BI).
• Build advanced dashboards and apply data storytelling techniques.

🎯 Project Work: develop a governance plan, a new xAPI profile, or an analytical dashboard.

Delivery and format

• All modules are asynchronous, with video lessons, materials and self-assessment quizzes.
• Office Hours are held periodically for discussion and Q&A.
• Each participant receives two hours of individual coaching included in the package.
• The program ends with project presentations and final discussion.
• Certification is issued as an Open Badge – Cartesiani xAPI Specialist.
