Progress so far...

> SCORM Cloud plugin supports Tin Can packageshttps://github.com/RusticiSoftware/SCORMCloud_MoodleModule

But only works with one LRS> Tin Can launch plugin supports any LRS. https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_tincanlaunch

But not ready for production

Hands up!

Do you use an e-learning authoring tool to create e-learning?

In the chat:Which tool do you use? (have you tried gomo?)Does it support Tin Can? (do you know?)Does it support Tin Can version 1.0.x? (do you know?)

Why bother?> Building an LRS is hard.

You wouldn’t create an e-portfolio in Moodle; you’d use Mahara.

But... Working LRS local plugin and SCORM module customisation:https://github.com/jgsmitty/Experience-API-for-Moodle

https://github.com/jgsmitty/TCAPI-Moodle-SCORM-mod/

Moodle 2.4, not maintained,only supports Storyline

Hands up!

Have you tried Learning Locker?

In the chat:Have you tried Learning Locker?Have you tried another LRS?How easy is it to use Mahara alongside Moodle?

> Create plugins once and re-use> Keep data in the same format> Be compatible with future tools

Why use a standard?

I already use web services to get

data in and out of Moodle...

> Tin Can is already seeing significant adoption.> Use Tin Can alongside Open Badges and LTI. > Translate SCORM data to Tin Can

Why Tin Can?

What about SCORM? Open Badges? LTI?
