Statements

A xapi.ly Statement is the core of what you'll be creating to copy/paste into your authoring tool. The data entered in the Statement form is used to generate a full xAPI Statement when the JavaScript is triggered in the course.

The minimum needed here is the verb - all other fields are optional.

Add a Statement

• Select your Project
• To the right of your Activity, select + New Statement
• The default mode is Guided Mode
  • This takes you through the form step-by-step
  • If you're familiar with the process or prefer to view the whole form, you can toggle to Open Mode

Fields

Step 1 (Choose a Verb)

Field	Description	Required
Verb	Pre-populated list of verbs	Required

TIP

Contact us if you feel a verb should be added to the list, preferably from a published location like ADL's Profile Server or Rustici's older Tin Can Registry.

Step 2 (Add Result)

Results measure an outcome.

TIP

All of these fields can be entered directly or toggled to use an authoring tool variable value.

Field	Type	Description	Required
Response	String	Typically used to represent a user response (text input, answer)	Optional
Raw Score	Number	User score	Optional
Minimum Score	Number	Must be smaller than Raw and Max Scores	Optional
Maximum Score	Number	Must be larger than Raw and Min Scores	Optional
Scaled Score	Number	User score as a decimal value between -1 and 1 (Generally Raw / Max)	Optional
Success	Boolean		Optional
Completion	Boolean		Optional

Step 3 (Add Context Activities)

Context Activities can be added to statements to show relation to other activities.

In xapi.ly, they are structurally identical to primary Activities.

Field	Description	Required
Parent	This activity has a direct relation to this statement Generally there is only one sensible parent	Optional
Grouping	This activity has an indirect relation to the statement There can be multiple related grouping activities	Optional
Category	This activity can categorize the statement like a tag	Optional
Other	This activity doesn't fit any of the other Context Activity types	Optional

Step 4 (Add Extensions)

Extensions can add additional metadata to statements.

Each extension can be added to:

• Context
  • The core statement overall
• Activity
  • Additional info to define an activity
• Result
  • Related to an outcome

Field	Description	Required
Location	Context, Activity or Result	Required
ID	This can be a full IRI (standard) or a simple string (custom, that will be converted to an IRI). You can optionally define the root IRI for a simple string extension in Publish > Configuration Options > Extension Root ID.	Required
Value	Your extension value	Required
Notes	This is for your internal use, and doesn't appear in statement data	Optional
