@mrdownes @aaronesilvers @WatershedLRS Cool, that means I can stick to Rob Thomas

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@davidpesce @mrdownes @oxala75 @MrBillMcDonald Right, but the content needs to pull from it, hence the semi-synchronous - it has to be avail

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@davidpesce @mrdownes @oxala75 @MrBillMcDonald It dumps alot on the content dev if they have to send to an LRS and keep their own state

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@mrdownes @oxala75 @davidpesce @MrBillMcDonald It's a "no" because the communication link is only semi-synchronous not fully #cmi5 #xapi

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@mrdownes @oxala75 @GeoffDennie Haha, yep, he is doing a great job today as he has for the years I've known him!

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@aelmhorst @aaronesilvers Definitely! Tweet me if you are ever in the Madison area.

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@aaronesilvers @aelmhorst Glad to see another Hodag in the Tech World! We do more than just text quickly!

@alishahrazad @mobilejson Hey Ali, check your email. Thanks for your interest!

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@k95bm01 Hey I emailed it to you. Still a work in progress and too incoherent to put out public in its current form but I welcome your help

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

QWrap: A good conversation with a lot of smart people involving #xAPI Thank you all for making it possible!

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q7: # "Experience Tracking" is the missing component - currently that is #xAPI

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q6. #xAPI itself doesn't provide a privacy concern, but the consequences of tracking more data is increased privacy concerns

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q5: Agree, especially if whomever is determining ROI can compare desired behavior with actual behavior using #xapi

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q4: Because #xAPI generates so much data, we need to look at new solutions to aggregate them. I think it starts with community-driven verbs

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

@aaronesilvers In technical ways, I agree, but in the cases of data transfer, we have a much clearer picture with natural language w/ #xapi

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q3: By using natural language rather than static data fields, the intent of #xAPI data can be more easily determined by humans

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q2. I think one of the biggest problems #xAPI solves is the ability to look at learning outside the confines of a "course".

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q1. True! we're still looking for things #xAPI cannot track :)

[Andy Johnson @AndyJohnsonADL]

Q0: Andy Johnson, ADL, interested in designing fun learning experiences with #xAPI
