Storyline and the Intellum LMS

Hi MikeHuffman​ you can sometimes get lucky with an LMS (like SCORM Cloud) as they may have included that information in either in the cmi.core.student_id or cmi.core.student_name SCORM data model elements. There is no "universal" way to get that information from an LMS, as it is not always exposed via an API, but some LMS will use the users email as the student_id, therefore making it available to retrieve via JavaScript.

I have provided you with a Storyline file (attached) that will output the information from cmi.core.student_id and cmi.core.student_name so that you can see which information is available on your LMS.

If you find the LMS does store the email in one of those properties, the way I have set this file up is as follows:

1. Create a Storyline variable to store the value. In my example, I have created a Storyline variable called student_id and student_name.
2. Add the following JavaScript to the MASTERSLIDE and have it run on timeline starts trigger. The JavaScript gets the information from the LMS (SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004) and will then populate the Storyline variables with the value. I add to the MASTERSLIDE to ensure it will execute when needed. It will only execute once, when the Storyline variables do not contain values.
   
   

   if(getVar('student_id') === '') setVar('student_id',GetStudentID());
   if(getVar('student_name') === '') setVar('student_name',GetStudentName());

3. If you do determine that the email address is available in one of those SCORM properties, just delete the Storyline variable you do not need and remove the script. 
   
   Tip: You can also use the student name to refer to somebody by their name in the module using the SCORM student_name value. It does need a little bit of extra manipulation using JavaScript, as SCORM always provides names in "Lastname, Firstname" format.
   
   
   

   if(getVar('firstname') === '')
   {
        const name = GetStudentName().split(', ')
        setVar('firstname', name[1])
        setVar('lastname', name[0]);
   }

    

This is my results in SCORM Cloud:

Just publish the attached Storyline file to SCORM 1.2 or 2004.
