how to get the student`s study records through an external link

hi all,

I'm developing a flash puzzle piece as a customized course navigation. This puzzle piece will allow the students to start from the first topice if its the first time for students. But I need to pull the students study record for the current course, so that when the students log in the second or third time, the flash puzzle piece could know which topic they are current at, and only show the current topic to students. That means I have to request for the data. Anyone knows how I could be able to access to the data and pull out the info?

 

thanks,

 

Frank

Looks like the perfect job for LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability).

LTI provides a way for external websites to authenticate and pull data about courses/students without having to know anything about Moodle. The external website just needs to conform to the LTI protocal.
