4 Discussion

JF 31 May 2010: As communicated by Jens Conze this feature is only funded as a basic patch. We will postpone it.

Alex, 8 Mar 2012: The feature is now ready for trunk integration.

JF 19 Mar 2012: We appriciate this feature.

Florian Suittenpointner 15 May 2012:
Two aspects:
  • The status that triggers issueing the certificate is the course status, not the learning progress status, correct?I'm asking because the only placeholder referring to a status is [DATETIME_COMPLETED], and "completed" is a label for a learning progress status while the respective course status is "passed".
  • Did somebody already think about where these certificates are to be presented to learners?
    Here are some ideas:

Solution

Like with:

Advantages

Disadvantages

Open questions

“Content” tab

Exercise

  • Quick access for users
  • Only accessible from inside the object
  • Solution is not feasible for SCORM modules

“Info” tab

  • Solution is feasible for all object types featuring certificates
  • Only accessible from inside the object
  • Quite hidden

“Learning progress” tab

  • Intuitive access for users
  • Solution is feasible for all object types featuring certificates
  • Only accessible from inside the object
  • Function can be disabled

(Internal) “Actions” menu

  • Accessible from inside as well as outside the course
  • Solution is feasible for all object types featuring certificates
  • Quite hidden

Status area below title/description

SCORM modules

  • Accessible from inside as well as outside the course
  • Solution is feasible for all object types featuring certificates

  • Does the status area feature the same items inside and outside the object?
  • Is it visible in the "medium" detail step on the Personal Desktop?

Alert box

  • Ensures attention of user
  • Accessible from inside as well as outside the course
  • Solution is feasible for all object types featuring certificates
  • Quite "aggressive"
  • Little accessibility
  • How does the alert box react when the certificate is available by an intervention of a tutor (e.g., graded Exercise "passed")?

On-Screen notification

Chat invitation

  • Accessible from inside as well as outside the course
  • Solution is feasible for all object types featuring certificates
  • Little accessibility
  • May the on-screen notification contain a download link?
Finally, two more general aspects:
  • It would be preferable to have a standardized way of presenting cerificates across different object types.
  • Up to now, certificates only arise after the user demanded them. So, they aren't saved persistently. It would be preferable to have them saved in some location like the Personal Workspace ...
JF 30 May 2012: We would like to present the certificate download
  • object lists: in the status area below title/description (preloader)
  • within the object: in the actions area at the top right (use certificate icon + action)
The certificate should be triggered by the "passed" status of the course.

MH 03 Sep 2012:
Das ist eine tolle neue Funktion!. Besteht die Möglichkeit, diese Funktion auch ab ILIAS 4.2.5 zur Verfügung zu stellen?

5 Implementation

JL 31 Aug 2012: The certificate has been implemented according to the JF decisions above. Like all other certificates the course certificate can now be properly toggled active or inactive for each object.
