Allowing Learners to Claim Their Own Certificates in Open edX
In most cases, you’ll want learners to be able to claim certificates for themselves on the progress page. For self-paced courses, this is already done! You’re good to go. For instructor-led courses, however, you’ll need to Enable Student-Generated Certificates.
To allowing learners to claim their own certificates, do the following steps:
-
Login to LMS as admin or staff.
-
On the learning site dashboard page, open one of the existing courses.
-
On the course introduction page, click on
View Course
. -
Click Instructor, and the Certificates tab (which will only appear once certificates are set up). From there, it’s just one button to enable them.
Select ok
or yes
when a pop up asks if you are sure you want to activate the feature.
