Tin Canny Reporting Plugin for LearnDash (Features + Review)

Tin Canny Reporting for LearnDash is a premium plugin by Uncanny Owl. Uncanny Owl was one of the first companies to make third-party add-ons for LearnDash, and to this day, are one of the best. Their plugins are actively used on over 30,000 LearnDash sites. Many users say the Uncanny Toolkit for LearnDash is a necessity for any LearnDash site.

Tin Canny Reporting for LearnDash provides an easy, convenient way to upload, track, and report on all types of SCORM and xAPI/Tin Can data, as well as standard LearnDash records. While its initial purpose may have been to provide reporting on SCORM and xAPI data, it’s still a valuable LearnDash reporting tool for those who are not using SCORM or xAPI, and just rely on typical LearnDash reporting metrics for courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes.

This article is part of our LearnDash reporting series.

Report Types

In general, Tin Canny Reporting provides 4 different types of reports:

• Course Report
• User Report
• Tin Can Report
• xAPI Quiz Report

The Tin Can & xAPI Quiz reports will only apply if you’re using Tin Can or xAPI data/authoring tools.

Course Reports

This report shows a general overview of all courses, as well as a drilldown of each individual course.

All Courses

Here’s an example of the “All Courses” report:

User Reports

All Users Report

When you first look at a user report, you’ll see all users listed in their own row. The following metrics are displayed as columns:

• email address
• # of courses enrolled in
• # of courses not started
• # of courses in progress
• # of courses completed

From there, you can see details of each individual user.

Specific User Report

You can drill down the users report to look at a single user. Here’s what that report looks like:

Specific User in Specific Course Report

You can drill down the user report to look at a specific user, in a specific course. Here’s what that report screen looks like:

Notice the tabs on the left side of the report. For each user in each course, you can look at lessons, topics, quizzes, assignments, and Tin Can data. You’ll be able to see which lessons, topics, and quizzes a user has completed in that course, as well as additional quiz information. You can open a popup window that displays all questions of each quiz the user took in that course. If a user passed a quiz with a certificate attached to it, you can also view that certificate. Links to assignment files are also provided.
