SCORM, xAPI, and LTI — The Secret Language of Smart Learning Systems

Behind every seamless AI integration lies a set of shared standards that make systems talk to each other.

SCORM — The Legacy Standard

Introduced in early eLearning, SCORM governs packaging and launch of course content. It ensures your module works on any compliant LMS.

xAPI — The Modern Tracker

xAPI (Experience API) captures learner experiences beyond the LMS — mobile, video, AR/VR — enabling richer analytics. Statements like “John completed AI Module 3” create a portable learning record.

LTI — The Connector

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) links external apps into LMS dashboards. For example, embedding Cloudroits’ auto-grader into Canvas via LTI makes it appear native.

These standards are the invisible backbone of AI in EdTech — enabling interoperability, scalability, and insight.
