Tin Can not showing any interactions

Jan 22, 2014

Hey folks.  I'm having some trouble with Tin Can published courses.  I'm not getting any details for individual interactions within my courses when publishing as Tin Can.  I only get a comprehensive score (e.g. 80%).

When I publish the same courses as SCORM 1.2 or 2004, I am able to get all the answers to all the individual interactions within my course as well as the total score.

For example, if I create a quiz with multiple choice questions and a results slide, and I publish it as Tin Can, I only get the overall score reported to the LMS (Moodle and Scorm Cloud both).  Whereas if I publish the exact same course as a SCORM package, I am able to go into the results in the LMS and see every single quiz question and the answer provided as well as the overall score.

Am I missing something?  Tin Can is supposed to be the latest and greatest, right?  I would love to be able to use the Mobile Player so I really want to use Tin Can, but if I'm not able to get the details, then there is no point.  

If I'm doing something wrong, please point me in the right direction!

Thanks a ton!

Hi Blake and welcome to the community!

This document provides sample JSON statements that would be posted to the Tin Can endpoint for various question types, and also provides links to more detailed information on the Tin Can API specification. I'm not sure if that will help, but it may be a good idea to keep it on hand for reference. 

I'm curious - have you tried publishing for HTML5 instead? Do you see any other question-level detail when testing on the iPad outside of the Articulate Mobile Player?

It sounds like this may be the issue:

It just sounds like the content is running correctly, pulling in the score, but not the details for the questions - I'm wondering if that's related to the Tin Can support for the LMS. I know you would prefer to use AMP, but it might help us figure out if that's what's causing the problem.

Also, what options are you using for "Reporting and Tracking" in your project? I'm assuming you're using the "Track using quiz result", with the results slide selected from what you described. I just want to confirm this if possible.
