Pulling Learner Name from LMS
April 21, 2007 12:00 AM
One way around this is also to put in a course only log in screen. This allows the learner to enter their name as it should be. Sometimes, the data from the LMS is not very pretty, depending on how it was entered and who entered it. Ours for example, put in the literal ~~~null~~~ if the data entry person leaves out the middle initial or this is not one to enter. Could use some javascripting to clean that up, but it also allows the user to feel they have some input into the course as well. One way around this is also to put in a course only log in screen.
