Javascript support - pulling specific data from LMS

Hi, so I am new to Javascript, I know basically nothing but came across a javascript that was able to pull a student name from the LMS and display it within the storyline file which got me thinking.

I basically want to pull a students previous response to a 'quiz' and display that within a different scorm package.

Let me explain. We currently have a long course with various terms that are released throughout the year. This course uses 'levels' to give the students content that is more bespoke to them. Currently the student needs to manually choose their level but I wanted to find a way to do this automatically.

In term 1 they complete a 'self assessment' which gives them a level, this is then sent to our LMS as a 'response' to a quiz, so the quiz has 1 question, which displays the students level as a response (beginner, intermediate, advanced).

Ideally, if I can then pull that data into term 2, it can automatically put the student on the correct level.

 

Is there anyone that is experienced with Javascript that is able to show me if this is possible or not? Or does anyone have any other ideas on how to achieve this?

    Data returned to an LMS by a course is only available to that course. It cannot be retrieved by another course.

    Hello,

    maybe your LMS can handle this situation, depending on the module x score, assign y or z module to the learner...

    Another case would be to create a big module with all your modules, you will need to add variables in your module and create a path in the module. Depending on the score, go to a particular chapter of the module. Depending on today's date, activate (or deactivate) this or that chapter.
