Housekeeping:⁃not tin can 101previous webinars we did tin can 101 and technical aspects of tin can-this is about how industry is adopting and using tin can-will feature tools that are available and innovative uses of tin can-at the end we'll also talk about some early stage projects that organizations are starting to push through-will save some time at the end for questions and answer the rest after the webinar-post questions to chat room, Jeff and Andy are manning it-twitter hashtag for tin can
Where we are today:-Came out of research year and a half ago-Approaching 1.0 in a few weeks – that is when we expect to see adoption really increase-remember this is early, people constantly want real world, that is slow to come although it is coming more rapidly than anybody expected-learning solutions conference anecdote
-as we go through, use these examples as seeds for your imagination, what is now possible that you want to do in your organization-”Big Breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly possible meets what is desperately necessary” Tom Friedman.-Notice how we are moving beyond the page turner. We’ve broadened the ecosystem.-Learning should happen wherever and however it is most effective and most necessary.
Major traditional authoring tools jumping aboardMotivations:-More robust tracking-Mobile-Cross domain hosting-Track more details of user interactions
Traditional LMS vendors jumping aboard tooMotivations:-largely same as content vendors, mobile, cross domain, track more detail-Early adopters deserve a lot of credit as pioneering innovative organizations willing to take some risk to provide better products-Largely traditional vendors are using Tin Can to do what could be done before in a better way, SCORM parity-Rest of this presentation talks about new vendors doing innovative things with Tin Can-Surprising trend - Some are focusing on publishing activity streams rather than consuming them, more on that later
Curatr is an online platform that enables instructors to transform any digital content into a social game for learning. Virtual Classroom focused on a topic (for education or organizations). Learners can contribute learning objects to this room (really any webpage can become a learning object). The class then discusses why this is interesting, etc. (so commenting, collaboration are all part of this). The more a student contributes the more points they receive. The Tin Can API forms a core part of their platform, enabling enhanced tracking and personalization features to report back advanced usage data seamlesslyThis features lends itself nicely to Tin Can as well as badges.
Social media company out of the Netherlands, closed internal social networksGathers points for social media contributions, creates a leader board of participantsUses Tin Can to track social learning events, including Yammer posts
Layer Two of the Onion – Capture Informal Learningencourages people to reflect on their daily experiences to sort out what they did and how they learned from it. collects what was learned, photos, people involved, ratings, and categoriesalso connects to social networks.Other examples: BookmarkletBook scanner
Captures informal learning events into next-generation LMS
Mapdeck allows conference attendees to download the most meaningful slides from conference presentationsUsing Tin Can to track people’s use of the slides to power analytics on which presentations, topics and speakers were most influential
By Bottom-line PerformanceProprietary game engine uses spaced learning and repetition for maximum knowledge transfer.The Knowledge Guru™ game engine uses Tin Can API as a bridge between its stand-alone database and a client's LMS.
Complex branching scenarios available on any deviceBranching module utilizing Tin Can contextReal-time dashboard results Visualization to illustrate performance against peers
Virtual classroom on a broad range of operating systems and devices, in real time, for multiple users in a virtual environment. Rapport is ideal for just-in-time, point of operation instruction as well as collaborative, instructor led and self-paced training.Rrobust tracking of not only learning progress and scores but also detailed recording of student interactions in a wide variety of learning activities and 3D simulations.
Multimedia rich, interactive digital textbooks. Now with Tin Can support, BookOnPublish is able to deliver student results to any Tin Can API compatible LRS.Cross platform - proprietary system (bridge to lms)
Teacher assessment storyStory of kids in their classroom all playing games to learn
Provides engineering simulation softwareHistorically has trained and then used a test to assessNow, using Tin Can to make statements of how users are actually using the software right from the software itself as users are actually using itUse this data to do the assessmentFuture plans to offer additional suggested training to the user in real time based on performance
New Zealand companyDesign scenarios with consequences in powerful interactive formatUses Tin Can for ROI analyticsHad a chance to sit down with their CEO, some really powerful and innovative stuff in hereActually started down the road of developing their own standard until they saw what Tin Can was all about
Layer Three of the Onion – Free the data-What is an LRSVandy:-remember when we talked about LMS providers publishing activity data-Using LRS as center of architecture-Previously many LMS’s, transition from LMS being the center to LMS being one source of learning data-Data to come in from many other places-Possible because of data portability in Tin Can-Independent reporting tool possibilities-Tying learning outcomes to organizational pillar goals-See many others adopting model of TDS and LRS
-Training on a mobile app-Fully available offline-Never need to visit an LMS-Using the Tin Can API itself to store organizational structure information for reporting – tool and LRS don’t need to be aware of learner ahead of time-Similar usage of TCAPI for self-defining course structures-Reporting and analytics across stores, regions, etc
Starting by alleviating SCORM Tracking issues, incorporating x-domain content from outside firewallTracking completion on mobile devicesDrop dead easy and free authoring of trackable content in Wordpress and Gravityforms for quizzesBite-size learning - Email mastery quizzes, one question per week, directly to the inboxTracked mentoring project – earn badges for knowledge sharingPersonal LRS for access to transcript that can be moved aroundNew hire scavenger hunts – QR codes on the things around the hospital that they need to learn about, need to find them, scan the QR code, scan the QR code later on the job to get just-in-time instructionPreceptor checklists on the iPad for assessing nursesUser-tracked informal learning
Introducing the Personal Data LockerStatements should be mineNow we can connect data from all these LRS’s and LMS’sTin Can makes this possible
Prototype, developed by Rustici Software
Broader list of adopters available on tincanapi.comAll of these vendors have adopted before the spec is even finalized.Just the tip of the iceberg230 active CRM conversations about Tin Can1800 webinar registrations25% of vendors at learning solutions Summary: going beyond the page turner, incorporating learning modalities that are right for the situation, not encumbered by traditional models-”Big Breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly possible meets what is desperately necessary” Tom Friedman.
