Introduction
With a new year comes a VTA Online Certificate Program update!
You can provide students the ability to launch a completion certificate when they have completed all required Lessons of a course.
In 2017, I blogged when we added:
- 6 History Class Session record fields (to increase the parameters you can use).
- PDF Download buttons (to make it easier for Students to retrieve, save and /or print them).
What’s New for Certificates in 2018
In 2018, we added:
