That’s why we’ve invested in interoperability with modern tools and file types—now supporting the launch of [xAPI (cmi5) content](https://support.skilljar.com/hc/en-us/articles/40571719637907-Support-for-xAPI-cmi5-in-Skilljar), including the ability to syndicate xAPI courses across Skilljar organizations using Content Syndication. We’ve also upgraded to the latest Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 protocol for improved compatibility with third-party platforms. Here's what's possible with xAPI (cmi5) content support**:** 🚀 Embed xAPI (cmi5) content from third-party tools like Articulate directly into Skilljar content, or launch it from a link within the lesson window 📊 Track xAPI lessons just like SCORM, with completions, progress, and scores captured in Skilljar analytics   ![Screenshot 2025-06-02 at 2.12.22 PM-1](https://433512.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/433512/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%202.12.22%20PM-1.png?width=1200&length=1200&name=Screenshot%202025-06-02%20at%202.12.22%20PM-1.png) Upload xAPI files under 'SCORM & xAPI' in your Skilljar dashboard   **If you use Content Syndication:** 🔗 Share xAPI (cmi5) courses across Skilljar organizations using the existing [Content Syndication workflow](https://support.skilljar.com/hc/en-us/articles/20909084190483-Content-Syndication) 🧭 Track course analytics in both the host and receiving organizations, all within your dashboard ✏️ Maintain control over your content with course updates automatically syncing across both organizations \_\_\_\_\_\_ LTI 1.3 Now Available for All Customers: We’ve also upgraded our support for the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) protocol to version **1.3**, the latest version of the standard. This update improves security and compatibility when integrating with third-party platforms like LinkedIn Learning and gives you more flexibility when bringing external content into Skilljar. ### What is LTI 1.3—and why should you care? LTI 1.3 is a secure industry standard that lets Skilljar connect with external learning platforms without forcing learners to log in twice or switch between systems. Here’s what that means in practice: - **One click, straight to the content.** Learners launch third-party lessons from Skilljar without redirects or extra logins. - **Progress that syncs.** When a learner finishes an external course, Skilljar gets the completion data automatically and marks the lesson complete. It’s a smart solution if you: - Use third-party content but still want tracking and completion in Skilljar - Offer compliance or certification training that lives outside your platform - Want to simplify the learning experience across multiple tools Looking to get started?
