One possible use of the Learner Name is to provide the ability to personalize the experience for the learner. Upon entering a course, a learner could be greeted personally.
For example:
Welcome to Educational Technologies, Enrique!
In this course, you will learn about the new and evolving technologies that are being used in today's classrooms.
Click Next to begin the course.
This is only an example of how Learner Name could be used by the content. Please note that each LMS may represent the learner name in different ways.
