Overview
The Tin Can Report is the raw activity stream from your eLearning modules. Every interaction a learner has with SCORM or xAPI content — built in Storyline, Captivate, iSpring, H5P, and more — is recorded here as an individual statement.
The Tin Can Report captures learning interactions from modules uploaded with the Tin Canny Uploader and published as xAPI or SCORM 1.2 / 2004. Statements are stored in a Learning Record Store native to WordPress — no external LRS required. Each record includes the user, module, activity, result, and a timestamp.
Use this report when you need the underlying detail: the full sequence of what a learner did inside a module.
Report Filters
The Tin Can Report opens with a filter panel — set your criteria and click Search (or Reset to clear). Filters are grouped:
- User & Group
- Groups — scope the report to a specific group. Group Leaders are automatically limited to their assigned groups.
- User — narrow to a single learner.
- Content
- Course — filter to one course.
- Module — filter to one module.
- Activity
- Action — filter by the Tin Can verb/action (e.g. a specific statement type), or leave on All actions.
- View — choose a preset range (Last 30 Days) or select From and enter a custom Start Date / End Date.
Results
After you search, the Tin Can Data table lists each matching statement. Default columns:
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| Group | The learner’s group (or n/a) |
| User | The learner |
| Course / Module | Where the statement came from |
| Target | What was acted on (e.g. the question or object) |
| Action | The Tin Can verb (e.g. Answered, Passed) |
| Result | The reported result, if any |
| Success | Whether the interaction was successful |
| Date Time | When it occurred |
Set Show [n] entries for page size, and use Screen Options (top right) to choose which columns appear.
Scoring
By default the report uses the raw score reported by a module. For finer control, two developer filters are available:
- uo_tincanny_data_consider_scaled_score — added in v5.0. When enabled, reporting considers the module’s scaled score (0–1) rather than the raw value. Useful when modules report scores on different scales.
- tincanny_result_override — added in v5.1.0.3. Overrides the stored result value of a statement before it’s reported.
See Actions/Filters for Developers for usage details.
Performance
The Tin Can Report was refactored in v5.0 for faster loading, which is especially noticeable on sites with hundreds of thousands of statements.
Export to CSV
Export the filtered results to CSV for deeper analysis — valuable when working with very large datasets.
