Dear All,

I know that the issue of certification should be handled by the LMS, anyhow does anyone know any tips or tricks for having a certificate issued within courselab, upon passing the final test, and with a possibility of the student to input their name?

Thank you
L.

The quick and easy method ...

Capture the name from the user into a variable

Make access to one page conditional on success or completion

On that page put a graphic of the certificate with a simple text box displaying the variable with the name in.

Add a simple button with a javascript print page command.

Done :)

1000 thanks for your reply. I will do as you recommended. Could I use this opportunity and ask (and this probably is super simple, yet I can't think of a solution) how do you make the courselab only print the graphic of the certificate with the variable of the user name, instead of the whole slide of the e-course (including the menu buttons and the print button).

Many thanks in advance,
L.

That is more of a problem however.....

IF

You make sure that the user doesn't get to the certificate page WITHOUT passing then you can hide all of the page navigation items and only have the certificate on show.
So scenario would be ....
User completes and/or passes -> navigation to certificate page enabled
User open page -> ondisplay action pops up an object to capture name
User enters name -> Action at the capture point to show name on certificate
Action calls javascript printpage and user is given option of 'where' to print (physical printer or to file)

Or something along those lines. It depends how complex you want to make it.

This is an excellent tip. We usually have to train people with poor internet connectivity. This option is a good workaround
