Passing parameters from LMS into STORYLINE
Jul 22, 2015
Is there a way to have onscreen reference variables display information that can be passed from the LMS. I'm not referring to pass-through information like the student name, etc.
I'm specifically referring to the ability to pass it TEXT or HYPERLINKS.
Scenario: build a Storyline module where, on any given page in the module, the onscreen text, i.e. a Document Title and the LINK to the document, can be 'sent' to the STORYLINE content via a 'parameter' field that is available in the LMS. For instance Success Factors allows their CONTENT OBJECT to 'pass' a series of parameters to the content (opened via the Launch URL) so that the content can dynamically 'fill in' the fields.
I have seen it done with Lectora. I need to find out how to do it in STORYLINE.
Thanks.

Hi Steve! This is out of my realm of knowledge, but I know we have a thread here where users were pulling a name to use. Perhaps this will help or at least get the wheels turning until someone in the community can assist if possible.
Thanks Leslie. I have read through that posting. The problem is that dealt with grabbing information that was being provided by the LMS automatically when the module launches (session starts).
I'm interested in a solution that allows 'external' parameters to be passed to the STORYLINE file via the LMS using the LMS content parameters capability.
Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist you here Steve :)
