ASTDps Chapter Meeting - February 2013

Tracking Learning: An Open-Source Option for Capturing the Full Picture

The Tin Can API is a new learning technology specification that allows users to track all types of learning experiences in one place. By integrating other learning systems, and by tracking both formal and informal learning, the Tin Can API can create a more full picture of each person's unique educational experiences. This new learning specification addresses many of the challenges learning organizations faced with the old specification (SCORM). It also enables companies to move from a single source learning system to tracking learning using tools in the employee workflow. John will define what Tin Can API is, provide examples for use in learning organizations, and give participants the opportunity to explore practical ways to get started using Tin Can API to improve learning experiences.
