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

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?
