xAPI Statements

Date/Time	Actor	Verb	Object	Full Statement	Statement ID
31 Dec 2024 01:23:45	Test Candidate	Completed	Course 3.6	{"actor":{"objectType":"Agent","name":"Test Candidate...	8111d32f-11bd-4b03-9c8e...

The statements are always arranged by date/time stamp (most recent first) and include a short form Actor, Verb, Object summary of the statement as well as the Full Statement in JSON format which can be selected and copied to the clipboard.

To view the entire contents of the Full Statement table cell you can use the column header toggle to switch the display mode between "Clip text" and "Wrap text".

Tip: To view the entire xAPI statement in an easy to digest format, copy the Full Statement from the table and paste into an online JSON validation tool such as the lrs.adlnet.gov/statementvalidator to prettify the code.

The unique Statement ID for the statement is also included for reference. This can be used to locate the statement in the source learning platform for troubleshooting/investigative purposes. You can use the column header toggle to switch the display mode between "Clip text" and "Wrap text" to view the entire contents of the Statement ID table cell.

Troubleshooting: If your inbound xAPI Statements are incomplete (e.g there is no "Verb" data displaying) this may be due to an unexpected language in the xAPI statement structure. Setting default language(s) according to your expectations may resolve any issues. See here for further details on setting languages.

You can manually refresh the page at any time to display the 100 most recently received statements.

2. Verb: Describes the action taken by the actor. Common examples include "completed," "viewed," or "attempted."

3. Object: Defines what the action was performed on, such as a course, lesson, or activity.

4. Result: Optional component detailing the outcome of the action, including scores, success indicators, or completion statuses.

5. Context: Additional contextual information about the statement, such as the platform used, instructor details, or other relevant settings.
