Tracking offline courses
Sep 20, 2013
Good morning!
I am building a module for a client that will mostly delivered offline through a CD. We will be utilizing the print results function to print a certificate to show completion. A question was raised if there is the functionality of a save as with the certificate image so the results could be saved electronically and emailed later. Also they may not have a PDF reader on all computers and wondering if there was another output. I am still VERY new to builiding courses and understanding all of the funcionality. I am not sure what if any solution is out there for this request.
How have you or would you handled this situation?
Also I tried to look at past discussions and couldn't find anything, so if there is something out there please point me in that direction
Thanks everyone!!!

Hi Sarah -
I did something similar but with an online course. I wanted a custom certificate that populated the learner's name and the date. I used javascript to do this. First, I used javascript to pull the learner's name from the LMS. Since you're doing this via CD, I would guess that you just have them type in their name. Once I had the certificate displayed on the screen, I used window.print() to pop-up the print dialog box. Even running the course on a CD would have the course launch in a browser so that could work. There are some issues with javascript & certain browsers, so you'd have to test it out. Here's a link to W3Schools which is an excellent resource for javascript coding.

Thanks so much for sharing Sandie! I think they are going to end up saving the results screen via the browers. I'll keep you posted.
Hi Sarah! Glad that Sandie was able to help you out here and just let us know if you need anything further.
Thanks Sandie
