tin can api - Is xAPI designed for common data analytics? -

i have been consulted if possible create web site google anallytics using tin can api(xapi). seems designed e-learning spec, i'm not sure suitable info analytics on mutual web site. recommended track website visitors xapi?

no, wouldn't consider purpose, given big number of tools out there good. i'd google universal analytics, mixpanel, kissmetrics, or if you're page focused , more little new, heap analytics.

any of more appropriate fine-grained website/webapp analytics experience api, both isn't designed same scenarios , doesn't have anywhere near tooling around it.

that said, i've got several customers using wax learning record store (i'm cto of saltbox) track coarse grained web events, , they're finding useful. key experience api suitable tracking coarse learning-related things, , things happen on websites fit.

i think more mutual model, eventually, channel fine grained web analytic events analytics store, on combinations of trigger experience api statements learning record store integrate richer info other sources experience api about. adds useful level of indirection between details of actions taken in interface , learning-related happenings recorded experience api statements.
