Getting job title from HR system to control learner experience (what content they see in course)

The learner-specific data elements which SCORM 2004 provide are:

cmi.learner_id: Identifies the learner on behalf of whom the SCO was launched.
cmi.learner_name: Name provided for the learner by the LMS.

In SCORM 1.2, those elements are:

cmi.core.student_id: Identifies the student on behalf of whom the SCO was launched.
cmi.core.student_name: Name provided for the student by the LMS.

Both are accessed via JavaScript in Storyline using GetStudentID and GetStudentName.

There is no provision in the SCORM specification for Job Title, or for that matter, Email Address, as SCORM is a direct descendant of AICC, which also did not address those data elements. AICC did include additional student demographic data elements (address, title, familiar name, and so on) but they were not required and so most LMS' and development tools did not address them.

If the user's ID has that information embedded into it (e.g., the UserIDs of employees and our contractors use different letters to denote that what user-type they are, which I can then trap for in a course), you could control what the learner sees that way.
