  • What is cmi5?

    • A set of “extra rules” for xAPI

      • cmi5 is a “profile” for using the xAPI specification with traditional learning management (LMS) systems.
      • Since the xAPI specification is highly generalized to support many different use cases, a set of “extra rules” (called a “profile”) is needed to ensure interoperability for a given use case. The cmi5 profile ensures plug and play interoperability between learning content and LMS systems.
      • The use case that the cmi5 profile is specifically designed for is one where the learner launches the learning content/activity from the LMS user interface.
      • cmi5 defines specific interoperability rules for the following areas:
        • Content Launch Mechanism
        • Authentication
        • Session Management
        • Reporting
        • Course Structure
