1,2,3... xAPI: discover, play, design.

xAPI is not just a technical standard: it is a language that connects people, experiences, and results. With the 1,2,3…xAPI method, you learn how to really use it—to read, design, and facilitate the way knowledge moves within organizations.

AI + xAPI = Learning and Performance Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we learn, work, and collaborate. But without structured data, even AI remains blind. The xAPI (Experience API) standard is the key to connecting what people do, learn, and improve. With the 1,2,3...xAPI method, you'll learn how to use this key in a practical way—to design trackable experiences, interpret data, and generate real insights.

From understanding to doing: the 4 stages of the 1,2,3... xAPI method

Not a theoretical course, but an experiential method based on years of facilitation and real-life cases. Each step allows you to discover, experiment, and apply xAPI through games, exercises, and guided reflection.

1. Observe

Look and understand.

Analyze how learning and collaboration generate data in your context.

2. Play

Discover through play.

Through games, simulations, and activities, you will learn the logic of xAPI and the Actor–Verb–Object grammar.

3. Elaborate

Give meaning to the tracks.

Interpret and connect learning data, building your first profiles and vocabularies.

4. Experiment

Put it into practice.

Design and write a small xAPI ecosystem: flows, LRS, reports, applications.

From play to understanding: the birth of xAPI Games

It all started with play. While running workshops and facilitation sessions, we realized that people learned xAPI best when they played with it — not when they studied it. That’s how xAPI Games – Learn xAPI by Playing was born: an on-demand course that blends theory, exercises, and interactive games to help you truly understand how the Experience API works. It’s designed for anyone who wants to learn what xAPI is, how to read and use it, and how to bring it into their professional or organizational context. 🎯 The most effective (and fun) way to learn xAPI — by playing.

Certification– Open Badge “xAPI Explorer Essentials”

Upon completion of the course, you’ll receive the Open Badge “xAPI Explorer Essentials – Explore, Understand, Plan.”, issued by Cartesiani Learning. This badge certifies your ability to understand and interpret the logic of xAPI, read and compose statements, and navigate the world of learning data with confidence.

What do beta testers who have tried the xAPI Games course say?

I never really understood how xAPI worked until I experienced it through play. It’s the simplest and most engaging way to learn something complex.

Each module is clear, practical, and fun. It helps you understand xAPI through real examples and gives you the confidence to actually use it.

A really well-designed course: it explains technical concepts with ease, without oversimplifying. It made me want to learn more.

xAPI Games makes statements understanding human and interesting. It helped me see that behind every json, there’s an experience.

I always thought xAPI was only for developers. This course showed me it’s also for people who design learning experiences.

xAPI Playground

From method to framework: introducing xAPI Playground for facilitators

Over time, that same approach — based on play, exploration, and design — grew into something bigger: a complete facilitation framework used to manage real projects, run workshops, and support complex organizational initiatives. Today, it has become the xAPI Playground – Facilitation / Practitioner Course, a practical path for professionals who want to guide teams and organizations in designing data-driven learning experiences. With over 60 games and activities, a structured framework, and a replicable methodology, it helps facilitators lead, plan, and measure meaningful xAPI projects. 🎯 For those who already know xAPI — and want to help others use it, understand it, and turn it into action.

Certification – Open Badge “xAPI Practitioner”

By completing the course, you’ll earn the Open Badge “xAPI Practitioner – Facilitate, Design, Lead.”, issued by Cartesiani Learning. This certification validates your ability to facilitate xAPI workshops, design data-driven learning experiences, and lead teams and organizations through real-world xAPI projects.

What do beta testers who have tried the xAPI Playground course say?

Finally, a practical course on how to bring xAPI into organizations. The games are powerful tools to explain and generate ideas.

It taught me not just to talk about xAPI, but to make teams experience it. Once they play, they truly get it.

The course is perfectly structured, balancing method and creativity. It gave me a replicable approach to run xAPI workshops.

Each game opens a new perspective. I’ve started using them with my clients — and they work brilliantly.

It’s not just a course; it’s a lab where you learn to lead people and projects. It changes the way you think about learning.

The new Masterclass Experience API

The best way to become an xAPI specialist.

When you want to go beyond facilitation and build even stronger expertise with xAPI, there is the Experience API Masterclass.

Six advanced training modules, three vertical in-depth modules on the chosen area of specialization, regular office hours throughout the course, personalized project work, one-to-one coaching sessions, and a final certification: the most comprehensive course for those who want to master xAPI design, architecture, and governance. Approximate duration: three months.

A Masterclass. Three possible specializations.

Instructional Designer

Design and create interactive and effective experiences by making the most of authoring programs in full compliance with the Experience API standard, adapting its semantics to describe interactions and enhance learning. Master all major export formats (xAPI, CMI-5) and the most widely used delivery techniques.

Learning Experience Developer

Data Governance & Analytics

It thoroughly oversees the architecture, even the most sophisticated, of an xAPI ecosystem. It is able to govern it by acting as a reference guide for all project stakeholders (internal and external), ensuring full data governance. It provides reporting to all stakeholders and designs and implements sophisticated dashboards.

Professional certification

Based on decades of experience in implementation, training, and consulting on xAPI standards, and focusing on the independence of our activities, all three specialist courses provide a final certificate of attestation following both a practical and theoretical exam, also available in OpenBadge format.

What do participants from previous editions say?

The Masterclass sets the standard. It gave me a complete vision — from the fundamentals to xAPI data governance.

An intense program — both technical and strategic. I can now discuss xAPI with IT, HR, and business teams alike.

I finally understood what it means to design trackable experiences. The project work part was eye-opening.

The Masterclass is comprehensive, clear, and truly practical. It’s rare to find a program that combines design, tech, and strategy at this level.

This course changed my perspective. I now use xAPI data to make design and development decisions based on real evidence.

xAPI Bootcamp

From data to real impact.

Over many years dedicated to bringing xAPI into companies, we have developed a high-intensity format called xAPI BOOTCAMP. It consists of five modules spread over two sessions, approximately 15 days apart. Its purpose is to provide the organization with everything it needs to know about xAPI in order to decide which path of application of the standard is best suited to the company, both in strategic and technological terms.

The beauty of xAPI is that it evolves and adapts alongside the organization. We continue to support our clients with strategic and operational consulting services, allowing them to stay up to date on international standards and best practices. We work on xAPI Data Governance issues, reporting, Learning Experience design, and, of course, the choice of technological solutions. Always with the spirit that sets us apart. Independent. Up to date.

Some of the companies that chose us.

xAPI is extremely flexible, and therefore various and diverse are the areas to which we happen to apply it: from the production of xAPI courses, to consulting in the choice of solutions, to designing statements and profiles, and even to reporting.

The xAPI maturity model.

Dall’Awareness all’Intelligenza dell’Apprendimento.

xAPI cannot be adopted overnight. Our xAPI Facilitation Maturity model helps you understand where you are today and how to progress. We are here to help you understand what the ideal next steps might be to enter the world of xAPI and choose together with you where to start.
