About the xAPI Collective
The xAPI Collective exists to bring Australia’s learning community together to explore what is truly possible with xAPI and open standards.
We are building a practical, grounded space where learning professionals can move beyond theory and start thinking differently about data, systems and capability.
Why We Started This
For years, conversations about xAPI, open standards and learning data have largely happened outside Australia.
Different time zones. Different contexts. Different regulatory environments.
Meanwhile across Australia and the Asia Pacific region, organisations are quietly trying to solve real problems.
- How do we move beyond completion rates?
- How do we connect learning to performance?
- How do we design systems that are not locked inside a single LMS?
- How do we make learning data genuinely useful?
The xAPI Collective was created to bring those conversations home.
We are here to showcase real implementation, real lessons learned and real architectural thinking that supports modern learning ecosystems.
What We Stand For
We believe learning data should travel with the learner.
We believe it should connect across systems.
We believe it should support professional judgement.
We believe it should inform better design decisions.
And we believe it should strengthen capability, not just measure compliance.
We believe in open standards.
We believe in decentralised learning ecosystems.
And we believe Australia should have a strong voice in that global conversation.
What We Do
The xAPI Collective runs monthly webinars featuring practitioners and global thought leaders.
We share Australian case studies and implementation stories that demonstrate what is actually possible.
We host practical discussions on architecture, governance and data strategy.
And we create community conversations that are accessible, grounded and focused on real work.
Whether you are just starting to explore xAPI or already building distributed learning ecosystems, this is a space to learn, connect and grow.
Meet the Founders
Julian Davis
Julian Davis is a Brisbane based Digital Learning Engineer and founder of xapi.com.au, Australia’s dedicated hub for Experience API and open learning standards.
He works at the intersection of learning design, infrastructure and data architecture, helping organisations move beyond traditional LMS thinking and design data first learning ecosystems.
Julian is also the founder of Remote Reviewer, a platform designed to capture structured evidence of real world performance and connect assessment data using xAPI.
Across large scale Moodle environments, Learning Record Stores and distributed assessment systems, his work focuses on one central question.
How do we capture meaningful evidence of capability, not just course completion?
He believes the future of learning is decentralised, evidence driven and built on open standards that give organisations control of their own data.
Andrew Bloye
Andrew Bloye is the Founder and Director of ClearXP, a consultancy focused on learning technology strategy, implementation and optimisation.
With extensive experience across corporate, higher education and government sectors, Andrew helps organisations design and implement learning ecosystems that are aligned to performance, capability and measurable outcomes.
He brings a strong systems thinking approach to learning technology, ensuring platforms, data and user experience work together rather than operating in silos.
Andrew is particularly focused on helping organisations modernise their learning environments, make smarter technology decisions and unlock the value of their learning data.
Together, Andrew and Julian founded the xAPI Collective to strengthen Australia’s voice in the global open standards conversation and create a practical, implementation focused community around xAPI.
