It seems that window.open returns undefined (at least with Chrome on 
iOS) so I can't get an elearning lesson to send data to the opener page 
that communicates with the learning management system (LMS).

Given that iOS currently displays all web pages full screen, an option 
for me would be to (rather than open the lesson in a new window) to 
create an iframe (in the page that communicates with the LMS) and to 
open the lesson in it. Then the lesson can send data to top which 
communicates with the LMS.

My problem now is, how can I reliably tell either if window.open will 
not "work" or if the browser is always full screen?

Should I open a dummy page and wait for a few seconds to see if it talks 
to the opener? If it does then close the dummy page and open the lesson 
in a new window. If it doesn't then close the dummy page and open the 
lesson in an iframe.
