I många organisationer är minskade utbildningskostnader ett av de viktiga skälen för att använda e-learning. En av de metoder som används för detta är att dela inlärningsmaterial och information mellan olika system. På så sätt behöver samma material inte skapas om på nytt och analys av insamlad information blir mycket enklare. Sharable Object Reference Model (SCORM) har länge varit en standard för att återanvända inlärningsmaterial, men har med tiden blivit förlegad. E-learning utvecklas tillsammans med teknik och interaktions-möjligheter. Surfplattor och smartphones blir allt vanligare och interaktion för inlärning kan idag ske via flera olika medier som exempelvis film, virtuella världar och sociala nätverk. För att möjliggöra och förenkla insamling av information från nya tekniker och interaktioner har en ny standard utvecklats kallad Tin Can API som lyfter flera restriktioner från SCORM. I detta projekt undersöks Tin Can API för att ta reda på hur den fungerar och hur standarden kan användas för att komplettera SCORM. En implementation har gjorts i ett befintligt e-learningsystem vid namn esTracer för att möjliggöra insamling och sändning av inlärningsinformation till externa system. Projektet visar hur man kan implementera Tin Can API i ett existerande e-learningsystem samt hur problemet för inställningar kan lösas. Ett antal användargränssnitt skapades för att låta esTracer-kunder bestämma var och när i svarflödet information ska skickas samt vad som ska skickas. Möjlighet för insamling av bestämd information implementerades sedan i svarsflödet samt en schemalagd applikation för att skicka insamlad information. / In many organizations, reduced training costs are one of the important reasons for using e-learning. One of the methods used for this is to share learning materials and information between different e-learning systems. This way, the same material does not have to be recreated over and over again and analysis of collected information becomes much easier. Sharable Object Reference Model (SCORM) has long been a standard for reusing learning materials, but has gradually become obsolete. E-learning has evolved with modern technology and interaction. Tablets and smartphones are becoming more common and learning interactions today can, for example, consist of films, virtual worlds and social networks. To enable and simplify collection of information from new technologies and interactions, a new standard was developed called Tin Can API. This new standard lifts many restrictions from SCORM. In this project the Tin Can API is investigated to find out how it works and how the standard can be used to supplement SCORM. An implementation has been made to an existing e-learning system called esTracer to enable the collection and transmission of learning information to external systems. The project shows a way to implement the Tin Can API into an existing e-learning system, and how the problem of settings can be solved. A number of user interfaces were created to allow esTracer customers to decide where and when information should be sent and what to send. Ability to collect this information and send it via a scheduled application was also implemented.

The identity of the Tin Can Tourists of the World, the first recreation automobile organization, has been poorly defined in the historical discourse, the factors contributing to the 1919 formation of the organization in Tampa, Florida represents a landmark shift in tourism in America towards the automobile. The group’s subsequent solidification of a distinct identity gives insight beyond their organization. The thesis defines their identity as well as looks at their impact on American automobility and tourism. The thesis therefore focuses on the previously undefined concept of recreational automobility giving it definition and showing how the group helped to define it. The group’s early role in mass use and adaptation of the automobile for recreation represents the first steps in creating a market for recreational vehicles. The imposition of organization on the camping experience by the Tin Can Tourists and their influence on creating special places for the practice of their activities helped define recreational automobility. The footprint left by the Tin Can Tourists helped shape part of America’s modern tourist industry. The legacy of their ideas about recreational automobility also suggests influence they had on later groups using recreational vehicles. This thesis examines and clarifies the identity and influence of the Tin Can Tourists of the World as a window on important trends in automobility and tourism.
