The Experience API
==History==
In 2008, it was determined that the interoperability standards were too limited for SCORM. [[LETSI]] appears to request community ideas, as a result of this SCORM 2.0 comes out.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-08-22 |title=The Next Generation of SCORM: A Q&A; with Aaron Silvers |url=http://www.astd.org/Publications/Newsletters/Learning-Circuits/Learning-Circuits-Archives/2012/06/The-Next-Generation-of-SCORM-a-Q-and-a-with-Aaron-Silvers |access-date=2022-09-15 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140822192026/http://www.astd.org/Publications/Newsletters/Learning-Circuits/Learning-Circuits-Archives/2012/06/The-Next-Generation-of-SCORM-a-Q-and-a-with-Aaron-Silvers |archive-date=22 August 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
In 2011 [[Advanced Distributed Learning]] (ADL), the [[United States Department of Defense]]-sponsored stewards of SCORM, recognized the need for a newer and more capable software specification than the original SCORM specification, which was then more than ten years old.<ref name="ASTD interview with Aaron Silvers" /> To address the need, ADL issued a [[Broad Agency Announcement]] (BAA) asking for assistance in improving SCORM, and the BAA was awarded to Rustici Software, a Nashville-based software company experienced with SCORM.<ref name="Float Mobile Tim and Aaron Videos">{{cite web|last=Tillett|first=Jeff|title=Project Tin Can – The Next Generation of SCORM|url=http://floatlearning.com/2012/04/project-tin-can-the-next-generation-of-scorm/|publisher=Float Mobile Learning|accessdate=31 July 2012}}</ref>

The Experience API was developed by a community working group and released as version 1.0 in April 2013. There are currently over 160 adopters (19 January 2016).<ref name="Tin Can API: Current Adopters">{{cite web|title=Tin Can API: Current Adopters|url=http://tincanapi.com/what-is-tin-can/adopters/|work=TinCanAPI.com|publisher=Rustici Software|accessdate=30 July 2012|archive-date=22 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120722052825/http://tincanapi.com/what-is-tin-can/adopters/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
