Managing Certificates

Certificates are a visual record of completion. A learner can download or print the certificate in order to attest completion. Learners can view their certificates from the appropriate line the in "My Grades" page, while administrators can view them from the Learner or Content status report. 

Veracity Launch allows you to upload certificate background images and overlay text blocks on them. Text blocks can contain variable expressions to pull the learner name, content title, or other aspects of the completion.
