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?
It might seem fairly obvious (retrospectively), but to note the methods here will not work when publishing a storyline to LMS / LRS with Report to an LMS = xAPI. Presumably the same is true with CMI5.
When you publish to xAPI the result is "undefined", similar to results others have reported using older LMS systems.
They do work fine when Report to an LMS = SCORM 1.2 or 2004 accordingly.
When publishing to xAPI we still get scormdriver.js in the output ../lib/.
There are snippets of code that look like they are to do with xAPI or CMI5. Is this still work in progress?
So now I must look for xAPI "equivalent" methods... maybe more javascript...post and get...
