Watershed can receive data from any xAPI conformant Activity Provider. Many Watershed reports are flexible and you can configure Watershed to display useful visualizations and metrics from almost any xAPI data set. To help you get the most out of your data, we’re working with a number of product vendors to ensure that the data they send is optimized to produce the best possible results in Watershed. We want to help you to configure Watershed reports in the best way possible to display that data.
The RISC VTA LMS offers tracking of events such as registering for, launching, completing, passing and failing lessons. RISC VTA LMS will also generate xAPI tracking data from SCORM courses. The quality and completeness of this translated SCORM tracking data depends on the quality and completeness of data sent by the original SCORM course. Forums and discussion groups are also tracked.
Related: You can also get xAPI data from RISC's PDF Annotator.

Configuring reports for RISC VTA LMS
Data from the LMS works best with the Activity Report. Simply create a new Activity Report configured for the lesson or for the SCORM course activity id.
You can also use the following custom measures to create various measures based reports. See the Measure Editor guide for more details on how to configure Watershed using these measures. These are just a few examples and lots of other measures are possible.
