eLearning hints-and-tips: How to populate a Learner's name from your LMS into Lectora (no code knowledge required!)

We use a variety of tools for eLearning development, including ELB Learning’s Lectora software. Using a Learner's name in your Lectora content can add a valuable personal touch to your content and support greater engagement. This can easily be achieved by populating your Lectora content their name in your Learning Management System (LMS). It also means that you can create Learner leaderboards as well, and we will post about that separately!

We found forums and online guides on how to do this difficult to follow and had steps missing, so decided to create a simple guide to solve our own challenge and, hopefully, those of other people as well.

Check out our video and start personalising your content in minutes by using this Javascript -

var name = AICC_Student_Name.getValue().split(",");

VarLastName.set(name[0]);

VarFirstName.set(name[1]);

No developer knowledge is required to implement it. Just clicking the link to check out the video!
