Yeah, I second Dipti. In fact, I'm not sure how many Tin Can/Experience API specialists there are just yet, seeing as the specification is rather new. That said, I agree that the guys (and gals) at Rustici Software are a good first stop.
Yes I did But the kind of fee they charge is out of my range. I'm just looking at someone to help me set up my course. Does not need to be an expert since my requirements are very basics.
If using Rustici is out of your price range then it's probably best you should avoid Tin Can and Moodle at this point.
There are some plugins around for Moodle that provide a level of Tin Can support but they require someone with knowledge to support and maintain them - if you don't have this internally and pay someone peanuts to implement it on your install - 12 months down the track when you have a problem you might be stuck.
If you want to use Moodle and don't have $$ to pay for someone to support you then you should probably stick with SCORM 1.2 packages for now until Moodle supports tin can properly. (or find another LMS that provides the functionality you need)
Thank you Dan for your feedback, it makes sense. I'm just surprise to see how much it cost to implement Tin Can Api. When I read online, It seems people are making it works using plugins for moodle and I was hoping someone could ease the use of those.
Do you think using scorm cloud and moodle is a valid option ? If yes, do you think it will still cost me a lot of money to have someone help making moodle and scorm cloud works together ?
The Rustici SCORM cloud works very well with Moodle - It is also very easy to install as it is a self-contained plugin and is well supported and maintained by Rustici - each time a new Moodle release is made Rustici are very quick to fix any compatibility issues with their plugin to make sure it works with the latest release. If you have been able to install Moodle - you should be able to install the SCORM cloud plugin on your site.
