Tin Canny Reporting turns LearnDash into a complete reporting platform for interactive eLearning.
LearnDash does not natively support uploading or embedding interactive SCORM or xAPI (Tin Can) eLearning content into your course, however, this is possible using Tin Canny Reporting for LearnDash.
Upload your Articulate, Captivate, iSpring, or H5P content, embed it in your courses, and capture detailed completion, score, and engagement data — all stored on your own site, with no external Learning Record Store to run.

What Tin Canny does
LearnDash tracks whether a lesson is complete. Tin Canny adds everything that happens inside your interactive content:
- Upload eLearning content — embed SCORM and xAPI/Tin Can modules in lessons and topics with the Tin Canny Uploader.
- Capture detailed data — every interaction, score, and answer is recorded automatically.
- Store it locally — a Learning Record Store built into WordPress means no third-party LRS subscription and no data leaving your server.
- Convert SCORM to Tin Can — SCORM 1.2/2004 statements are converted to xAPI automatically, so all content reports together.
- Report for admins and Group Leaders — four back-end reports plus front-end reports your managers can run themselves.
- Gate completion and track time — integrate with the LearnDash Mark Complete button and the Uncanny Simple Course Timer.
The Tin Canny eLearning content uploader
The uploader integrates with both the block and classic editors so you can embed modules directly into LearnDash lessons, topics, and courses. Uploaded modules are managed from the Manage Content page — redesigned in v5.1 with a cleaner layout and new upload-date and filesize columns. See Managing eLearning Content.
LearnDash and Tin Can reports
Tin Canny provides four core report views, each with sortable tables, search, drill-down, and CSV/Excel export:
| Report | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Course Report | How is each course performing across all learners? |
| User Report | How is one learner doing — with course start and lesson/topic completion dates? |
| Tin Can Report | What exactly did learners do inside each module? |
| xAPI Quiz Report | How did learners answer each question? |
A local LRS — nothing external to run
Tin Canny stores all Tin Can/xAPI statements in a Learning Record Store native to WordPress. You get full statement capture without the cost or complexity of an external LRS, and your learning data stays on your own server.
Reports for site administrators and Group Leaders
Reports surface completion times, activity trends, and individual quiz responses. Administrators see the whole site; Group Leaders see only their assigned groups. With the front-end reports, Group Leaders and client managers can review (and, as of v5.1.1, sort by % Complete and Avg Quiz) their teams’ progress without a dashboard login. See Front End LearnDash Reports.
Integrations
- LearnDash Mark Complete button — require a module to be finished before a lesson/topic can be completed, so completion means engagement. Configure this per lesson/topic in the Tin Canny tab on the edit screen (added in v5.1.3.3).
- Uncanny Simple Course Timer (Toolkit Pro) — add time-spent columns to your reports for seat-time tracking.
