Transferring variables from one captivate module to the next

A colleague I work with wants to set up two simple variables one which keeps track of a score and one that holds a user's name.

The course will be made up of a number of modules hosted on an LMS.

Is there a way to transfer the variables between modules:

So for example if in module 1 I enter my name as 'Joe Bloggs' and I finish module 1 with a score of 200 when I load up module 2 I will start with a score of 200 and it will remember the name I typed in module 1?

He seems to think it's possible using Javascript but doesn't know exactly how he'd implement it yet.

So I guess my questions are

a) is it possible to do?

b) if it is, which is the easiest way of doing (doesn't have to use javascript)

Thanks in advance
