4.6 Tin Can
Tin Can is the next generation of SCORM
  1. Due to the natural changes in technology over the last 10 years an updated standard was needed. Tin Can is that standard.
  2. Tin Can consists of an API (application programming interface) that allows learning experiences (courses or learning objects) to recorded experiences in an LRS (learning record store). An LRS may be an LMS (Learning Managment System).
  3. New Tin Can capabilities include:
    1. Taking e-learning outside of the web browser
    2. E-learning in native mobile applications
    3. More control over learning content
    4. Platform transition (start e-learning on a mobile device, finish it on a computer)
    5. The ability to track games and simulations
    6. The ability to track real-world performance
    7. Team-based e-learning
    8. Tracking learning plans and goals
It's True! It's True! The Tin Can API is still in development
