The document discusses the Tin Can API (Experience API) and Open Badges initiatives in modern learning environments, highlighting their roles in tracking and recording diverse learning experiences outside traditional LMS systems. Tin Can API allows for the flexible recording of any learning activity and improves data ownership, while Open Badges provide visual recognition of skills and achievements. Both systems aim to enhance learning analytics and engagement, but they also face challenges such as data privacy and reliability.

- 2. Agenda A shared background What is Tin Can/Experience API? What is Open Badges Initiative? Complementary or competing?
- 6. Very little online learning happens on the LMS
- 7. Current learning standards not fit for 21st century. Enter...
- 9. What Tin Can API does Layer 1: Frees us from the obsolete constructs of SCORM Layer 2: Allows us to record ANY learning experience Layer 3: Frees learners’ data from the LMS Layer 4: Enables merging with performance data
- 10. How Tin Can API works Tin Can-enabled activities send simple statements to a Learning Record Store (LRS). LRS E-learning Game Simulator Blog YouTube
- 11. Tin Can statements Noun Verb Object
- 12. Healthcare compliance programme “Jenny completed an e-learning module in 21m”
- 13. “Jenny attended Palliative Care workshop on 01 April 2013” Healthcare compliance programme
- 14. “Jenny viewed Palliative Care video ” Healthcare compliance programme

Editor's Notes
- #4: Tracks formal e-learning only Tracks high level completion Only takes a single quiz scoreLINK: Learning must start at the LMS
- #8: Layer 4: start to analyse the impact of learning activities on performance, and adjust the learners’ activities as needed. LEARNING ANALYTICS.TCAPI can provide the plumbing for an LA programme.
- #10: Layer 4: start to analyse the impact of learning activities on performance, and adjust the learners’ activities as needed. LEARNING ANALYTICS.TCAPI can provide the plumbing for an LA programme.
