Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable
I know you can have a user fill in a text box with their name and then later use that variable for personalization. What we would like to do is programmatically retrieve the user name from the LMS....
Hi Bruce -
Sort of... AO doesn't use SCORM, so the same method can't be used. What I was successful with was picking up the email address / username from the launching window. This only works when the user logs into AO first. If logging in using a guest link, it will fail. This also only picks up the account email and won't be able to access the first / last name since there isn't a way to get to that as far as I've found using any kind of API.
Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist:) You might try hitting up the team with a support request. I'd imagine this could be a popular ask.
