Learning experiences are recorded in a LearningThird levelRecord Store (LRS). LRSs can exist within traditional Learning Management Systems (LMSs) or on their own.History Fourth level Fifth levelIn 2011, Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), the United States Department of Defense-sponsored stewards of SCORM, recognized theneed for a newer and more capable software specification than the original SCORM specification, which was then more than ten yearsold. To address the need, ADL issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) asking for assistance in improving SCORM, and the BAAwas awarded to Rustici Software, a Nashville-based software company experienced with SCORM.Rustici Software conducted numerous interviews with the e-learning community to determine where to make improvements and thendeveloped the research version of the Experience API specification. This process was called Project Tin Can. The name \"Tin Can API\"was derived from Project Tin Can, and is still used interchangeably with the name \"Experience API\".The Experience API was released as version 1.0 in April 2013. There are currently over 160 adopters (19 January 2016) 3

And it is the ‘experience’ that is ‘quantifiable’, ‘sharable’ and ‘trackable’ 4

As Tin Can-enabledFifatchtilveivteiels generate statements, they're sent to an LRS. The LRS is simply a repository for learning records that can be accessed by an LMS or a reporting tool. Popular LRSs: By Rustici • Watershed LRS is a cloud based Learning Analytics Platform. • Engine is a locally-installed OEM LRS • Cloud is a cloud-based testing and development LRS as well as an OEM LRS Open Source • Learning Locker • lxHive • ADL LRS 5

Yes, LRSThcairndnleovterleplace the LMS as the LMS provides many other features such as user manageFmouerntht,lecvoenl tent management and delivery, social features such as wikis/ask the expFeifrttheltecv.e,lactivities such as quizzes, scheduling events such as class room trainings, class room asset management etc.,• How is the informal learning tracked using Tin Can API? There are browser plug-ins (for example –’bookmarklet’ by Rustici) that will be used to track the informal learning. For example, I want to record my learning/experience of a watching video tutorial on Youtube, I simply click the plugin button on my browser toolbar, and write a statement saying – I watched so and so tutorial and submit, it will then be sent to the LRS. 7

Being one of the industry leaders in the CAMS, IBM can host some good open source LRS in the Cloud and offer the services of LRS to its existing and new customers. Also, can use its strengths in analytics/reporting tools for data fetching. Also, IBM can offer services to not only the organizations, but also individuals; in the future may be individuals want to record their learning on personal basis independent of organizations. Imagine – in one’s life time, each day is learning from the childhood. May be individuals want to record such data and make use of it for the employment/showcase. 8
