assessment

An assessment is an activity type that determines a learner’s mastery of a particular subject area. An assessment typically has one or more questions.

attempt

An attempt is a discrete set of learner experiences in an activity. This activity gives systems the ability to uniquely identify experiences when they may have happened in different interactions with the same activity.

course

A course represents an entire “content package” worth of material. The largest level of granularity. Unless flat, a course consists of multiple modules.

interaction

An interaction is typically a part of a larger activity (such as a assessment, game, or simulation) and refers to a control to which a learner provides input. An interaction can be either an asset or function independently.

lesson

A lesson is learning content that may or may not take on the form of a SCO (formal, tracked learning). A lesson may stand-alone or may be part of a larger course.

In Scheme	`https://w3id.org/xapi/scorm/v1.0`

module

A module represents any “content aggregation” at least one level below the course level. Modules of modules can exist for layering purposes. Modules are not content. Modules are one level up from all content.

IRI	`http://adlnet.gov/expapi/activities/module`
In Scheme	`https://w3id.org/xapi/scorm/v1.0`

objective

An objective determines whether competency has been achieved in a desired area. Objectives typically are associated with questions and assessments. Objectives are not learning content and cannot be SCOs.

Type	`ActivityType`
IRI	`http://adlnet.gov/expapi/activities/objective`
In Scheme	`https://w3id.org/xapi/scorm/v1.0`

profile

A profile is an activity that defines a set of rules and recommendations for generating xAPI statements for a particular domain. The inclusion of a profile activity in a statement identifies that statement as following the rules outlined in the profile.
