The Tin Can API is having major impacts on the direction of the e-learning industry.
Organizations and vendors of various types are rushing to adopt Tin Can because it enables many things they have wanted to do for a long time. Things like mobile delivery, offline delivery, serious games and hosting content outside the LMS were all difficult or impossible with SCORM. These are easy with Tin Can.
This webinar lets you get an in-depth look at what Tin Can means to various types of software and organizations, and learn what you need to be doing to make sure that you're keeping up with the trends that Tin Can has enabled in our industry. It features eight companies, each of which will tell you how they're using the Tin Can API, and what it means for their business.
