What’s under the hood?
SCORM
![Page 7: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SCORM
• Shareable Content Object Reference Model
• Developed by ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning) initiative under the direction of the U.S. Department of Defense
• SCORM 1.1 released 2000
• Current: SCORM 2004 4th Ed. released 2009
![Page 8: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SCORM is “Siloed” Technology
• Siloed Application: An application that does not interact with other applications or information systems. A siloed application is any software that functions on its own to solve a problem. Such applications are often found within the many departments of large enterprises.

Tin Can to the Rescue!
• Tin Can is a modernized version of SCORM that frees instructors, students, and data from the confines of siloed learning management systems.
![Page 17: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Also referred to as “the Experience API” or “Next Generation SCORM”
![Page 18: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

LRS
• An LRS (learning record store) is basically a database for Tin Can data
• It can be used on its own or in conjunction with an LMS

Track data from any compliant source
• The learning experience to be tracked doesn’t have to originate in the LMS. In SCORM, the only way to track a learning experience is to login to an LMS, register for a preselected e-learning course and then launch it from within the LMS. In Tin Can, it doesn’t matter where or when students discover and begin a learning experience, it can all be tracked.
![Page 27: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Setup optional
• The LRS doesn’t need to know about activities ahead of time. In SCORM, content must be imported and registered with the LMS before it can be delivered and tracked. This limits what can be tracked to e-learning content that the LMS administrator has preselected. A Tin Can LRS collects data on the fly for learning activities and even for your student roster.

Learning data becomes ubiquitous
• Collect data from many sources
• Collect data for a wide variety of activities
• Publishers as well as instructors can collect data
![Page 31: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Issues
• Understand the meaning of what you collect– Time on page– Access to page– Unproctored scores
![Page 32: Course Tech 2013, June Jamrich Parsons, Tin Can + LMS = New Possibilities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051312/546dd8e6b4af9f752c8b54d2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Issues
• Student Privacy– How much data about a student’s study habits
should be available to instructors and publishers?
– How do you factor in soft skills with hard results?
