Print a certificate with information pulled from blackboard VLE ?
Feb 04, 2015
Hi,
Can anyone help me with how to print a certificate of completion that would pull the Users Name / Course Name / Date of completion / and score (%) from blackboard VLE.
I've searched on here and found a few examples where the user would enter their name into a text field then that could be printed on a certificate, but thats not really what i was after. I would like the input from the user simply to be clicking the button to print the certificate.
I've found this page which lists the blackboard variables, but i'm not sure how to go about the integration from there.

any help appreciated.
thanks,
Ash

Hi Ashley,
I'm not sure that this will match with the Blackboard variables, but it's typically something you'll need to set up with Javascript - and here's a great example.
Thanks Ashley,
Just tested the example Owen posted at the end of that thread and it works perfectly in BlackBoard.

Perfect - happy to hear that worked for you!
Hi Ash,
Can you tell me where in Owen's Storyline file/javascript you added the Blackboard variables? I can get the file to work as-is on Blackboard, which is great because we have had a lot of trouble with SCORM and Blackboard in the past, but I don't seem to have the variables entered correctly. Thanks for sharing the information on Bb variables, btw. I tried adding them to an announcement and they worked perfectly!
Hi Elizabeth,
There were only 4 triggers to copy across if i recall correctly:
The only other thing to check was that you have set up the variables correctly (see attached image), if this is the problem they will most likely be displayed as Null.
Hope this helps,
Ash
Thanks for the quick response! I'll give it a try tomorrow. :)
