Certificate of Completion in Rise
Hi John,
Would you be willing to provide a 'how to' for dummies?
I'm super interested in generating certificates for a large number of things that won't fall within an LMS. Would be fabulous to understand how to do this if you'd be willing to share!
Thanks
Hi @Xi C
Sure thing. Happy to help...
At the heart of this demo is the ability to create a Storyline block that uses the pdf-lib JavaScript library routines to output a downloadable pdf file incorporating Storyline variables. This allows the developer to create a pdf template (such as a certificate), convert this into a pdf 'form', which has fillable fields, and then 'fill in' the form in JavaScript before offering it to the user for download.
I have a FREE workshop already available on our website that will take you through this process step-by-step: The example in the course is for a downloadbale learning journal - BUT exactly the same code can be used for a certificate.

If all you want to do is create a single Storyline block for insertion into your RISE course that creates the certificate. Then this course will give you what you need... In light of this discussion, I will update the course with a small add-on that discusses creating a certificate rather than downloadbale notes.
...However, today, we will be releasing the second, follow-up workshop which then shows the developer how to incorporate several Storyline blocks in a RISE course that can store text input in local browser memory and then a block that will retrieve this data at the end of the course using the code covered in the first workshop to create the downloadable pdf notes file.
Again this workshop is FREE and everyone who has enrolled (or enrols today) on the first workshop will automatically be enrolled on the second - they will just receive an email when it is loaded later today.
I hope you will enrol - and that the workshops will be of value in what you want to achieve.
Very best regards
John
