I would like to design my courses to address customers by name; is there any way that this information can be captured from an outside source rather than the usual variable that requires the customer to enter the information from within the course?
For example, if the customer has an account and is assigned to a specific trainer, can that information be captured via API and then inserted into the course content as the course loads?
I've seen examples in these forums that read the username from the URL from which the content was launched by certain LMS using javascript. Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Javascript is needed, as well as the LMS adding the information to the URL used to launch the course. Good luck
Thanks Brian! I will look into it now that I know it can be done :) I didn't want to bang my head against a wall looking for a solution that doesn't exist, and my search of the forums didn't provide any insight. I'll look again.
