New Rise Feature: Tin Can API (xAPI)
I'm excited to let you know that you can now export Rise courses for Tin Can API (xAPI)!
Check out this Peek video to see how easy it is.
Enjoy!
So I understand the functionality of Tincan. I used scorm to push variable defined elements to our LMS, with the LMS only really having the ability to read binary values. We have a new LMS that supports Tincan. So around usage, I get we can export a Rise package for tincan, and the LMS works with it. How do we as developers control what goes up (e.g. John read vs. John completed)? Or is this controlled by Rise, and if that's the case, at what points are tincan elements shot to the LMS?
Hi James,
You asked "How do we as developers control what goes up (e.g. John read vs. John completed)". The only Export option available for Tin can/xAPI is the "Track using course completion" vs "Track using quiz result" option. There's no "Report completion status as" options in Tin Can like what you usually have if you use AICC, SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004.
"at what points are tincan elements shot to the LMS?
" Are you asking when the completion status or score gets sent to the LMS?It is possible to see all the data being sent to the LMS by enabling the LMs debug for Rise. Please check out this article for more information:
