How the TinCan API will revolutionize the learning world
8 likes4,098 views
The document discusses the evolution of learning technologies, particularly focusing on the Tin Can API and its potential to transform learning experiences beyond the capabilities of traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS). It highlights the history of SCORM implementation and the need for modern solutions to capture informal learning and improve data analytics for better tracking of learning outcomes. The Tin Can API allows for a more flexible representation of learning experiences, enabling correlation between training and job performance.
