Let's start with retrieving the user's name from Moodle and displaying it. The Javascript you would use is:

var player = GetPlayer();

function findLMSAPI(win) {
     if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;
     else if (win.parent == win) return null;
     else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);
}
var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);

var lmsStudent_Name = lmsAPI.GetStudentName();
     player.SetVar("lmsStudent_Name", lmsStudent_Name);

Create a new variable in Storyline called lmsStudent_Name and insert it as a Reference into a Text Box.
