New Certificate modules
The Moodle Workplace team have recently released two of their plugins for the community use in core Moodle installations. These two plugins help to manage and issue certificates for learners.
The Course Certificate plugin itself, allows you to choose from different certificate templates which will
automatically display user data such as full name, course,
etc.
Users will be able to download a PDF copy of the certificate
themselves by accessing this activity, and there are options to send a
PDF copy to them by email automatically. If the template used on this activity contains a QR code, users will be able to scan it to validate their certificates.
The Certificate manager plugin
has to be installed, it provides the API and UI for designing the certificate templates at the system and course category levels.
This plugin allows users to create certificate templates on the system
and course category levels. Certificate templates can have user fields
such as user name, profile picture, etc, and also additional dynamic
fields that are added by the issuer (through
API).
The built-in interface allows users to issue certificates manually and browse the issued certificates and a
verification code/link/QR code can be added to the certificate template.
Certificates can be verified by unauthenticated users,
even on sites with forced login and no guest access.
