Do you have a conceptual understanding of xAPI but don't know how to graduate from playing with xAPI to using it for serious business? This session will address three core considerations to help you get started with xAPI: security, trust, and profiles. When it comes to security, you'll learn the basics regarding authentication for both launched and non-launched learning content. You'll learn how to build trust using statement signing, infrastructure, and encryption, which will help you rest assured when it comes to the veracity of statements. We'll also teach you the basics for using profiles in your organization so that you can create meaningful reports based on consistently expressed activities. This session was recorded at the ATD 2019 TechKnowledge conference in West Palm Beach, Florida.
