Create an xAPI activity content provider

Creating an activity provider in Saba Cloud allows administrators to define an integration with external content vendors such as Skillsoft. these vendors send xAPI statements to Saba's LRS, and use those statements to mark complete content and update learners' transcripts accurately.

Completion statements are supported for the following Percipio content types: courses, audio books, books, linked content, and videos.

You must share the Client ID and Client Secret, along with the LRS endpoint, with Skillsoft to allow the connection to be configured within Percipio.

Add Percipio as an xAPI activity provider

  1. Create the provider:
  2. Saba Setting Value
    Name Percipio
    Authentication Type BASIC
