Recently we added a small feature to our platform which lets you put the student's name in the course content. You can do this in content parts, the explanation above a block, the explanation at the end of an activity and in widgets.

Below you will find a few examples of how you can display the names:

John Johnson:

${user.fullName}

Johnson, John:
${user.formalName}

John:

${user.firstName}

Johnson:

${user.lastName}

There is also an option to display Dutch tussenvoegsels, French particules or German von with ${user.middleName}

You do not need to enter this in HTML, you can just enter it in the editor.

An example:

Hi ${user.firstName},

Welcome to this course!

This will be displayed as:

Hi John,

Welcome to this course!
