What L&D Professionals Should Know About Tin Can API | Upside Learning Blog

What L&D Professionals Should Know About Tin Can API | Upside Learning Blog | E-Learning and Online Teaching | Scoop.it
The Tin Can API is an e-learning software specification that allows learning content and learning systems to speak to each other in a manner that records and tracks all types of learning experiences. As we all know, learning can occur in different forms and can happen anywhere (not necessarily through courses hosted on an LMS). Tin Can enables L&D professionals the ability to easily track, quantify and share data gathered from various learning experiences.
It’s great for tracking:

Mobile Learning
Serious Games
Simulations
Informal Learning
Real World Performance
Dennis T OConnor's insight:

This API could be a significant element in open education, badging, and non-accredited learning.

What Is PBL Really?

What Is PBL Really? | E-Learning and Online Teaching | Scoop.it

"Do you want to engage your students in Project Based Learning (PBL)? Maybe you are asking yourself what is PBL really?  Am I doing it right?

Well, first of all, the most important thing to understand is that PBL is a construct made up by human beings and so there are lots of variations!  And you are entitled to construct your own version, too, within some parameters.

My suggestion is to study many of the great resources that are available to you and then create your own working definition and effective PBL practice.  (I’ve included some of my favourite resources below.)"
