Tappestry & Tin Can



The LMS standard SCORM may have been "disrupted" this summer with the launch of the Tin Can API (http://scorm.com/tincan/).  This is a next-generation e-learning specification, where learner activities exist outside the LMS.  Tin Can is based on the premise that learning happens everywhere, and the http://tincanapi.com/ records activities and delivers data that is quantifiable, sharable, and trackable. 

I first heard about Tin Can this summer at mLearnCon:

The Tappestry mobile app (https://www.tappestryapp.com/) uses Tin Can and is an example of how people can connect their learning experiences to others.

This will be interesting to watch, and even more exciting to be a part of.
