Our Mission

To lower the barrier of entry to xAPI and data in K-12 education. Giving a 'fuller' insight to students' learning journeys, taking pressure off of teachers and providing more evidence for clearer decision making and teaching pathways.

Accessible

Make xAPI accessible to more organizations — regardless of size, budget, or technical capacity.

Usable

Translate complex standards into school-centered products that support classrooms and educators.
Break vendor-lock without breaking existing technology implementations. A simple idea in conversation. An enormous challenge at scale.

Great technology meets focused design

We strongly believe that equitable design, focused on K-12 educational technology implementation will drive further adoption and enable more to leverage xAPI.
Design clarity – creating simple and relevant patterns for teachers, admins, and analysts.
Easy language – using K-12 centric terminology/ontology to describe what’s happening and how to use it.
Interoperable base – ensuring data flows smoothly between tools without vendor lock-in and without hidden action items.
This design-first approach makes it easier for educators, researchers, and students to participate in xAPI and learning analytics.
