Grabbing the Learners Name Automagically from the LMS (via SCORM)

Addressing the user by name in your eLearning course is a great way to personalize your content to the learner. Many times Instructional Designers or eLearning Developers will have the user enter in their name at the beginning of the course and then store that in a variable and display that name throughout the course. IF your course is being hosted on an LMS, you can actually grab the users name right from the LMS instead of having them enter in the info manually. In this video Jeff will walk you through how to grab the users name right in the LMS and display it properly in Storyline.

    So you may have to do some extra steps for your specific LMS. Sometimes they layer it differently. I can't really tell you specifically without launching a course and using the console but it is there.

    great video Jeff ... do you happen to know if WorkRamp would use the same variables, connection, etc? I can't seem to get SL to display any data within the LMS.

    Hey David - It would depend on if they are SCORM compliant or not or if they use their own standards. I have actually not heard of WorkRamp so not 100% sure but that would be something to ask.

    Hi Jeff, Thanks for this interesting video. I got Workday Learner as the name. Do you have any ideas how I could start troubleshooting? Thanks!

    I have not worked with Workday's LMS. Do they use standard SCORM reporting? If they do, you should still be able to follow this same process.

    Hi, Jeff! It worked on SCORM 1.2, but not 2004 4th ed. (whick I need). I'm using SuccessFactors LMS. Any ideas?

    Hmm, maybe success factors is not running the latest SCORM 2004? In the video I do publish to SCORM 2004 so it should work unless they have implemented it weird.

    Thank you for posting this video! Is this possible to do with a Captivate project hosted outside of an LMS? I don't like the way our LMS structures content, so I'm hosting Captivate interactions elsewhere and embedding them in LMS content pages. I'd like to use xAPI to report anything specific from the Captivate interactions, but I want to be able to grab the learner's name from the LMS without having them input it themselves. Is this even possible?

    Nope, SCORM is very limiting and if the content is outside the LMS you cannot use the LMS to know who it is. Unless you created like a shell that wrapped the content that lived outside the LMS but that would take some custom development to even test that out. xAPI though allows you to capture the person through a single sign on or something but then you would still need an LRS to capture the data.

    That is an epic bummer. My audience frequently struggles with typos and often switches email accounts, so I was hoping to avoid them signing in again. I will have to figure something else out. Thank you so much for the reply and the extra thoughts!

    @@kayleeoconnell6163 - EdApp might be something to look at, or you could also look into just doing Google analytics. xAPI could be free but yeah does take some set up. My course covers all of that for basic authentication if the course is on a server. Good luck.

    Canvas may be different unfortunately. They implement SCORM different than most LMSs. I have not tried it myself but may want to see if the Canvas community has some detail on this.
