Getting student name from the LMS and using it in Articulate
In the LMS we are about to use, we can get the student name since the SCORM runtime variable for it is "cmi.core.student_name". However, how do I get it as a variable in Articulate at run time?
Matthew,
I am hoping you might be able to help me on this as I have a very similar issue to Candice above. I had this working for me for a year or so - retrieving both first and last names. However we upgraded our LMS and I am not sure if it is linked but I started to see "undefined" inserted before the full name. Going on your suggestion above, that the LMS might be storing the name in an unusual way, I updated the line in the code from:
var newName = array[1] + ' ' + array[0];
to
var newName = array[0];
and this worked, i.e. it retrieved the full name and the "undefined" was not included.
My question is, have you seen this more frequently now or do I need to investigate why the LMS is storing the name in this way? We use Moodle.
Regards,
David
