Certificates?

[ColbyHansen]

I am building a course on canvas (https://canvas.instructure.com/courses/2703532) and trying to see how I can integrates certificates of completion for my course.  Ideally for free.  Any tips?

Hi - There is not a solution that isInstructure-owned. When I taught, I had a form that automated certificates, but it as not based on Canvas accomplishments, etc. Let's see if other Community Members have ideas they can offer! It's amazing to hear what people have implemented. 🙂

Hi!

With the recent aquisition of Badgr, you can gamify your course with Canvas Badges (Badgr). Would the micro-credentials help you meet your needs?

So you are saying there is no way for certificates? Just badges if we have installed Badgr in our instance?

Hi @ColbyHansen,

In Addition to what @KristinL replied, I did want to point out that Canvas has a separate paid product called Canvas Catalog, which is somewhat of a mini front-end for Canvas that does allow for Certificates of Completion to be generated.  Unfortunately, since it's a paid product, it wouldn't work with the free-for-teacher Canvas instance that you appear to be using, but I thought I would mention it just in case others might be interested.
