The Object element of the statement defines the target of the action, or the activity in which the action was taken. This allows you to describe with arbitrary granularity the actions taken by the student including, but certainly not limited to, interactions with videos, buttons, online activities, or even physical Internet of Things devices. This video explores the Object element and demonstrates how it is constructed and used in a xAPI statement.

Also similar to verbs,…you can display the name of the object in as many languages…as you'd like…but the object has an additional feature…to help out even more.…There's a description property that can be used to provide…information about the object within the statement.…And, just like the name of the object,…you can list as many languages as you'd like.…This can be really helpful with rapority.…Let's take a look at a couple of examples.…Here's an example of an object that might describe…a course similar to this one.…In this case,…
