Generating Certificates

A feature of the "reporting" module

Overview

Before you can generate certificates, you must first do a certain amount of setup work. This is described in the page Setting up Certificates.

You can generate a certificate for an individual student, or for all students in a course. When you select the menu item, you will first be asked for the dates the certificates should cover. You will then be asked to choose the course for which the certificates should be generated.

Then you will see a list of all students who attended the selected course during the selected time period. Choose which of these students should receive a certificate. After you click OK, the certificate window is shown for the first student you selected:

This window is initialized with information about the student. The certificate language is taken from the student's correspondence language. The course level shown is the level reached by the course on the date of the last event the student appeared on the attendance list. The corresponding skill levels and descriptions have been selected accordingly.

You may choose to change the selected skill levels to reflect this student's individual capabilities. In addition, you can enter a comment to appear in the certificate.

The six buttons have the following functions:

• Save - Save the certificate for this student, but do not print it. Then proceed to the next student.
• Print - Save and print the certificate for this student. Then proceed to the next student.
• Skip - Skip this student and proceed to the next student.
• Save All - Save the certificate for this student, but do not print it. Usie the same information entered for this student (language, skill levels, and comment) to generate all further certificates - save them but do not print them.
• Print All - Save and print the certificate for this student. Usie the same information entered for this student (language, skill levels, and comment) to generate all further certificates - save them and print them.
• Cancel - Abort the certificate generation process.

Certificates are saved in your KVS working directory.
