Lectora Gaining Tin Can API Support in Version 11

You may have already seen that Lectora has announced that its upcoming version will support the Tin Can API. I have high hopes for this upgrade all around and have a mental list going of what I hope it contains.

Regarding Tin Can, I hope in particular that the developer has the ability to specify when to send calls, rather than the tool reporting essentially all clicks (as Storyline does). That will allow the designer to make conscious decisions about what to track and why, rather than just sending a sea of data.

Here’s hoping. Though I haven’t always agreed with Trivantis’s marketing, I’m a longstanding Lectora user and the tool has a well-earned reputation for power. We’re still early in the adoption curve and there’s a big opportunity for rapid power tools that use Tin Can to support an intentional and nuanced design.
