―The British Medical Journal (BMJ) chose ―the
sanitary revolution‖ – connecting people’s
homes both to clean piped water and to
sewers to dispose of their waste – as the most
important medical milestone since 1840.
They thought it was more important than
antibiotics, vaccination or the discovery of the
structure of DNA."

Notes de l'éditeur
1000 people on the lineApologize for selloutQuestions, we have Andy, Megan and Jeff moderating questionsWill answer a few at the end, rest will be answered and posted with recordingTwitter hash tag
Not just plumbing, but the history of plumbing
Excited?Well let me convince you that you should be.Plumbing is fundamentally important.When it’s there and it’s working well it just disappears, but when it’s not working it causes all kinds of problems.
This is where we started.Didn’t take long for people to realize this was a bad idea.“potty” comes from chamber pot
Start of some system. They worked but the could only go so far.As early as 1245 “The Great Conduit” brought drinking water from the Tyburn to the city“cobs” carried water to households who couldn’t connect to the conduits1582 a waterwheel inside London Bridge started pumping water from the Thames to parts of London200,000 cesspits in the city – designated places to empty the sewage instead of dumping it all out on the streetInnovations: sewers began to dump waste into the ThamesFlush toilets increased water load on the systemThen it all broke down:Cholera outbreaksGreat Stink 1858An overhaul of the sewer system was in order.
Joseph Bazalgette Chief Engineer of Metropolitan Board of WorksBBC calls the result one of the “Seven Wonders of the Industrial World”This is a big deal. The mundane, foundational infrastructure is massively important.
So, SCORM got us here.
We want to go here.We know how to build those buildings, it’s right in front of us, but the darn water and sewer systems can’t keep upTin Can will take us here.
So what is the Tin Can API?Next gen SCORMHistoryTLA – Experience APIV0.95Community participationCurrent adoptionSo why is this exciting?
Why we’re all here
Cost of technology is droppingRemoving friction to interoperability will help reduce it even farther
Relate to Amelia and MsMcMurryThousands of educational games in the app storeClassroom vision with teacher and dashboard
What percentage of learning happens in SCOs?What percentage of learning happened in a classroom?Learning happens everywhere, both formally and informallyAnything can be a learning experienceNow we can track itWatching a khan academy videoAttending an exceptionally informative keynote presentationBeing mentoredMentoring somebody elseWriting a blog postReading a bookMaking a mistake
We are increasingly surrounded by electronic systems that know about our lives enabling passive collectionConference session registration systemGoToTraining record attendeesGoogle calendar buttonDiscussion board that asserts knowledge gain or experience sharing based upon activitySystems that track our actual job performance
LRS doesn’t need to know about activities ahead of timeExperience to be tracked doesn’t need to be originated in LMSDecoupling of asserter of learning experience and actual content
What counts? What is learning?Too much data.
Big Data = Big OpportunityHow people like to learn?What learning paths do the most effective performers take?What learning paths do the least effective performers take?Who is good at the skill of learning?What are people unexpectedly choosing to learn about?Can we bring together people with complimentary skills?
In SCORM data went into a block holeIn Tin Can data is not required to come out and be allowed to move around
Concept of the independent LRS has started to take holdProfound implications for enterprise architectures and LMS’s
Aviation industry extensions example
The next evolutionCould your learning records be the next resume?Would an organization benefit from knowing more about you as a holistic person?
Based on activity streamsUsed to capture any activity, increasingly used across the enterprise
REST-ish API, JSON payloadI Did This statements---broader expression of experiences, very rich expression---highly extensibleCome to BYOL Sessions tomorrow – hear it from the horse’s mouth
All of these vendors have adopted before the spec is even finalized.Just the tip of the iceberg230 active CRM conversations about Tin Can1800 webinar registrations
So much opportunity and so many new things to be created.Use your imagination, the world just got blown wide openThe train is leaving the station, it’s time to get onboardGo play with itDemand that your vendors support it
