I'm still keeping an eye on Tin Can because it promises to make what Scott Wilson is calling 'paradata' available to learning management systems. As Wendy Wickham says, "Running reports from my LMS and making up numbers is fine. But my Holy Grail is the ability to attach the stuff coming out of the enterprise systems with the stuff from the LMS without having to go through the [long and involved] process." It's a way to track your performance in other systems, so the LMS can recommend appropriate learning (I can imagine, for example, getting a refresher course on SAP from my LMS after taking my usual two or three hours to update a few day's worth of time records (assuming of course that SAP implemented Tin Can).
