The Tin Canny for WordPress plugin adds new xAPI/SCORM capabilities to WordPress sites. A unique feature of the plugin is the Tin Can Report that helps you track the progress and completion of Articulate Storyline/Rise, Adobe Captivate, and other modules published to Tin Can/xAPI or SCORM format, as well as H5P content*. The custom plugin also adds an Uploader to the WordPress Editor.
Here are the key features of the plugin:
- Tin Canny Elearning Content Uploader
- Tin Can/xAPI reports
- Storage of Tin Can/xAPI data in a local LRS inside WordPress (for supported content types)
- Automatic conversion of SCORM statements to Tin Can/xAPI (for supported content types)
- Targeted reports for site administrators

Tin Canny Elearning Content Uploader
The Uploader is integrated with the WordPress Classic Editor and the Gutenberg block editor, so you can quickly add a Rise, Storyline, Captivate, or iSpring module to a page, post, or a course, topic or lesson in a WordPress LMS plugin (if you’re using LearnDash, take a look at our Tin Canny Reporting for LearnDash plugin).
Tin Can Reports
All Tin Can data are displayed in two reports: Tin Can Report and xAPI Quiz Report. All reports are inside WordPress but you can export all table data to CSV or Excel (.xls) files. We support instant sorting, filtering and searching inside JavaScript data tables too.
Storing Tin Can/xAPI Data in a Local LRS
Up until now, every Tin Can solution developed for WordPress relied on a Learning Record Store (LRS) outside of WordPress. It meant segregating reporting and figuring out how to send Tin Can/xAPI statements externally. Many LRS solutions obfuscated code and prevented customization, so making improvements was impossible. With this plugin we offer the option to have a basic LRS entirely native to WordPress. It captures Tin Can/xAPI statements with little configuration. Just upload Storyline, Captivate, or other xAPI/SCORM zip files, or add H5P modules, and statements are automatically captured right inside your WordPress site.
Converting SCORM statements to xAPI (Tin Can)
The plugin has been optimized for Tin Can/xAPI, but it also supports modules published to SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004. SCORM statements from these modules are converted to xAPI statements using the official ADL SCORM to xAPI bridge adapter and made available in the Tin Can Report.
Targeted Reports for Site Administrators
The Tin Can and xAPI Quiz reports will provide administrators insights into the overall performance of their elearning program and activities of their learners. Some of the metrics you’ll be able to see include:
- xAPI/Tin Can statements by verb, module, user, or almost any other combination you can think of
- xAPI/Tin Can statement trends
- Individual response data from xAPI quiz content
