The Experience API (xAPI) allows us to collect data about any type of learning experience or activity, but does that mean we should? Should we generate massive amounts of xAPI data for every possible type of interaction and then expect to make sense of it all later? This approach can be costly in terms of data storage, but also in terms of your time.
As part of the development and introduction of xAPI into a large organisation, it can always be a challenge to provide the benefits. I'd like to share with you how I used xAPI with Articulate Storyline 360, published as SCORM and being delivered via a Learning Management System (LMS). The Learning Record Store (LRS) is Learning Locker.
LMS Reporting is a crucial feature of any modern online course and it shows full advantage of Big Data nowadays. But admit it, just looking at figures and metrics is of little use.
It never bodes well to dive into the unknown without preparation. To define, design and enable learning analytics, it’s essential to have a clear strategy in place. Prep yourself with these evaluation questions before you dive into learning analytics.
This talk will explore connections between two emerging fields focused on harnessing the potential of data – learning analytics and quantitative ethnography.
xAPI, or Experience API, or Tin Can API is one of the biggest developments in Learning and Development. Here's how it could impact personalised learning.
In Belgium, where euthanasia was legalized in 2002, we conducted a follow-up study in 2007 to two largescale nationwide surveys on medical end-of-life practices that had been conducted in 1998 and 2001. This follow-up study enabled us to investigate differences in the frequency and characteristics of these practices before and after the enactment of the law.
One out of two euthanasia cases is reported to the Federal Control and Evaluation Committee. Most non-reporting physicians do not perceive their act as euthanasia. Countries debating legalisation of euthanasia should simultaneously consider developing a policy facilitating the due care and reporting obligations of physicians.
Doctors could risk losing their licence if they fail to report fitness to practise concerns about their colleagues, MPs have recommended. In its first annual review of the functions of the General Medical Council, the House of Commons Health Committee has called for the regulator to send “a clear signal” to doctors that they are at as much risk of being investigated for failing to report concerns about a fellow doctor as they are from poor practice on their own part. Senior doctors and clinical team leaders in hospitals would be most accountable, but there would be “questions asked of everybody,” said Stephen Dorrell MP, chair of the health committee.
Artsen moeten na het melden van euthanasie steeds vaker lang wachten op een oordeel van de regionale toetsingscommissie euthanasie. De KNMG roept VWS op om te garanderen dat vanaf 2012 de wettelijke toegestane termijn niet meer wordt overschreden. Artsen verkeren na het melden van euthanasie steeds vaker onnodig lang in onzekerheid over de uitkomst van de toetsing van hun euthanasiemelding. Tot 2007 was de wachttijd zo'n 30 dagen, maar de wettelijke termijn van maximaal twee keer zes weken wordt steeds forser overschreden. Dit loopt soms op tot meer dan een half jaar, zo hoort de KNMG van artsen. Een reportage in actualiteitenprogramma EenVandaag laat zien dat veel artsen dit probleem ervaren.
Washington’s Death with Dignity Act allows adult residents in the state with six months (180 days) or less to live to request lethal doses of medication from physicians. In this report, a participant of the act is defined as someone to whom medication was dispensed under the terms of this law. This report focuses on the 103 participants for whom medication was dispensed between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011. It includes data from the documentation received by the Department of Health as of February 29, 2012.
In de eerste drie maanden van dit jaar werden in België 445 aangiften gedaan van euthanasie. ‘Een opvallend cijfer’, zegt professor Wim Distelmans (VUB), voorzitter van de Federale Commissie Euthanasie.
This article is concerned with the practice of euthanasia in Belgium. Background information is provided; then major developments that have taken place since the enactment of the Belgian Act on Euthanasia are analysed. Concerns are raised about (1) the changing role of physicians and imposition on nurses to perform euthanasia; (2) the physicians' confusion and lack of understanding of the Act on Euthanasia; (3) inadequate consultation with an independent expert; (4) lack of notification of euthanasia cases, and (5) organ transplantations of euthanized patients. Some suggestions designed to improve the situation and prevent abuse are offered.
This article examines the reporting requirements in four jurisdictions in which assisted dying (euthanasia and/or assisted suicide) is legally regulated: the Netherlands, Belgium, Oregon and Switzerland. These jurisdictions were chosen because each had a substantial amount of empirical evidence available. We assess the available empirical evidence on reporting and what it tells us about the effectiveness of such requirements in encouraging reporting. We also look at the nature of requirements on regulatory bodies to refer cases not meeting the legal criteria to either prosecutorial or disciplinary authorities. We assess the evidence available on the outcomes of reported cases, including the rate of referral and the ultimate disposition of referred cases.

Security Council Report (SCR) is an independent not-for-profit organisation. It was founded on the belief that consistent, balanced, high-quality information about the activities of the UN Security Council and its subordinate bodies is essential to the effective performance of the Council and that this information should also be available to a wider group of stakeholders and the general public.
