Can anyone please advice on how i could print out a certificate of completion on articulate rise? Many thanks Naeem

This is such a fundamental requirement. Can we please have this put on the list of jobs to do from the rise team asap.

I spent some time playing with this, as well as digging in the developer tools and chrome on Phils solution and figured this out. This can be done in rise by adding a storyline slide into rise. The storyline file just triggers Javascript as a trigger. Here is the Javascript from Phils example https://codepen.io/khausauer/pen/JjPZKZa I used this as a base to recreate the functionality, changing the code slightly just to clean up and make it easier to read for this example. To create a PDF you'll need to add the MakePDF CDN to your HTML generated files, You want to add this in the story_html5.html file from your published file. If you added the slide to a rise file this file will be in COURSENAME.zip\content\assets\bt151019uRhOQ0X4\ (The BT151... part is likely different for each slide you add to a rise course. The the <head> and </head> will already be in there you just need to the the two script lines, just above the </head< <head>...<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.59/pdfmake.min.js" integrity="sha256-bX4TPrIvSJ7o/8O7HiB8WLSA6xz/45oHBHww/ErxGpc=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfmake/0.1.59/vfs_fonts.js" integrity="sha256-UsYCHdwExTu9cZB+QgcOkNzUCTweXr5cNfRlAAtIlPY=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script></head> There is one more issue you will run into, which is adding images to your PDF. the MakePDF documentation says images need to be base64 encoded, which essentially turns an image into a series of 1000s of characters. it looks something like this: data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4RGJRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgABwESAAMAAAABAAEAAAEaAAUAAAABAAAAYgEbAAUAAAABAAAAagEoAAMAAAABAAIAAAExAAIAAAAkAAAAcgEyAAIAAAAUAAAAlodpAAQAAAABAAAArAAAANgALcbAAAAnEAAtxsA... the problem here, is that storyline has a maximum character allowance in the JS panel. so to get around this you need to manually insert your encoded images into the JS file generated after publishing. this file can be found at Storyline output\story_content\user.js or if its a rise output COURSENAME.zip\content\assets\bt151019uRhOQ0X4\story_content\user.js This file will look something like this: function ExecuteScript(strId){ switch (strId) { case "6GIzzLQR94K": Script1(); break; }}function Script1(){ // Retrieve storyline player object from parent window var player = window.parent.GetPlayer(); // Retrieve the learners name from the learnerName variable var name = player.GetVar("learnerName"); // Retrieve the title of the project from projectTitle variable. var title = player.GetVar("projectTitle"); var results = player.GetVar("results"); var cpd = player.GetVar("cpd"); var certNo = player.GetVar("vCertificate_text"); // Get todays date in format dd/mm/yyyy var today = new Date(); var dd = today.getDate(); var mm = today.getMonth() + 1; //January is 0! var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); if (dd < 10) { dd = '0' + dd } if (mm < 10) { mm = '0' + mm } date = dd + '/' + mm + '/' + yyyy; // Define PDF output - See http://pdfmake.org/#/gettingstarted for information on creating a PDF document with pdfmake. var docDefinition = { // Set page size pageSize: 'A4', // Set document orientation pageOrientation: 'portrait', // Set page margins pageMargins: [0, 0, 0, 0], // Define main body of document content: [ // Include logo image (image is encoded as base64 string) // Include certificate text { text: 'THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED TO:', fontSize: 16, alignment: 'center', margin: [0, 320, 0, 15] },... (continued on) You'll need to add your images and background into here. you'll want to find the line that Says var docDefinition = { And add in your background images right below so it looks like: var docDefinition = { // Define document background background: [ { image: 'data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4RGJRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgABwESAAMAAAABAAEAAAEaAAUAAAABAAAAYgEbAAUAAAABA ...... (Cut off because it's long) width: 595.28, height: 841.89 } ], After you save the files you should be good to go, just upload to host, or LMS and give it a test. If you are running into issues, use the Dev tools in chrome (F12) and look at the bottom right for Javascript errors, this will give you an idea of where the problem is. You can see a live demo of my storyline file here: http://kylehausauer.com/pdftest/story_html5.html I have also attached the .story i used when testing. If i haven't described something clear enough, let me know i'll try to clarify!

OMG! This is way beyond me. :-(

Since there are so many people asking for a step by step, I'd like to offer the instructions for what I did for my client. But first please accept this disclaimer: I'm not an expert in Storyline, Rise or anything, in fact I retired a couple of years ago. Last week my client, for whom I'd long ago created a PDF certificate in Storyline, hosted in Articulate Online, asked me if I could adapt it for Rise. Using Emiliano's instruction in this thread I was able to do so. I was surprised and delighted that it worked. But I can see why people would want a simple step by step. I'm sure when Phil Mayor does it, it'll be better than this, but if it helps until there's a 'native' Rise certificate, I'm happy to offer it. But I'm not offering any support or followup. There are people on this forum far better equipped to do that. I'm going back to my books and guitar! If Crystal or any Articulate Support people find anything wrong with my solution feel free to remove it. So here you have: a) a Word doc explaining the processb) a Storyline quiz with the certificate-printing mechanism, similar to what was shown on this threadc) a certificate in HTML with some dummy images I had a lot of help from people on the Articulate forum when I was an elearning person, so I hope this gives something back.

Hi Naeem, Right now, there isn't a way to access a certificate of completion in Rise 360. Our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I'll make sure your voice gets added to the discussion. If I can help with anything else please reach out!

Hi Mario!

While Rise 360 doesn't have a certificates feature, check out Rise.com!

It's an all-in-one online training system that includes the same course authoring as Rise 360, plus a place to track, manage, and analyze your training. It even includes certificates of completion!

Have a look around, and if you have any questions about it, you can reach the Rise team at sales@rise.com.

Hello, Shinead! While Rise 360 doesn't have a built-in certificate feature, check out this cool Storyline Block course certificate generator that Phil created! He may be able to help you create a similar one for your own course.

Has this functionality been added yet? I really need certificates of completion for a required course for a state we did in rise and the clients LMS does not have certificates so it would be needed in the rise course...

  Hi Autumn, generating Course Certificates isn't available in Rise 360, but we'll make sure to update this thread once we have made changes that can help.
  
  As a workaround, other users choose to add a certificate by using Google Forms or Google Slides, or even use Storyline. Please check out these creative ideas to add a Course Certificate:

Is this a possibility yet? We are using more Rise and the clients want certificates.

I'm posting to this conversation because it appears to have the most traffic on the topic of certificates in Rise 360. I have found a solution for providing certificates of completion in Rise with the use of external content embedded using the Embed block under Multimedia in the All Blocks menu. In addition to having a printable certificate, I need a way to prevent students from reusing the certificate for a second student without the second student taking the quiz. This solution requires some basic coding knowledge and a hosting environment for the embedded content.

I have all the information and examples on my site at https://www.ddanewilliams.com/web/rise/index.html. Feel free to ask any questions on this solution - I'm glad to help in any way possible.

Hi everyone,

I'm reopening this thread in the hope that over the past year, a certificate option has been added into Rise?? I'm not very code savvy and hoping a simple layman's solution is available :)

Thanks in advance
