Certificates are commonly awarded in courses as a way to show that a student has accomplished a specified level of achievement. In the online world, students can receive a certificate virtually just as they might in the face-to-face setting. In Moodle this can be accomplished by using the Certificate module to award certificates based on specified criteria. In this post, I’ll discuss how to create one as well as options for releasing it to your students.
Configuring the Module
The Certificate module is a third-party plugin for Moodle and is not enabled on Joule sites by default. In order to use the module, the site administrator must request for it to be enabled by opening a support ticket. Once enabled by support, you are ready to go!
When enabled teachers can select from a library of items for the design of the certificate, all of which are preset with the module. In addition, site administrators can also upload custom borders, seals, signatures, and watermarks for teachers to select when creating the certificate. This capability gives you the creativity to develop an exclusive branding for your school or organization and allows you to create it in a program with flexibility, such as Photoshop or Illustrator, and upload in to Moodle as a template for your teachers. You can even set these files as the default so that when the module is added, the file is already selected for them.
