Advanced Certification
Certify students with advanced issue criteria by leveraging our brand new Passing Score option in Avallain Author, or by evaluating against average score. Open your institutions to French and informal German speakers.
Certificate issue criteria
Magnet 21 now allows you greater control of when and how a student should receive a certificate. Leveraging a new Avallain Author value called passing mark, it is now possible in Magnet Administration for Org Admins to choose from one of four possible sets of criteria for the issuing of a certificate.
1. Go to Magnet Administration and edit the course for which you want to enable a certificate by clicking on its name.
2. Scroll down to the Certificate section and in the Certificate type field, select Accredible certificate.
3. Enter the Accredible group_id.
4. Finally select the desired issue criteria and Save.
How-to
A student can be issued a certificate if they:
Complete a course
This means the student needs to view all the screens in all the lessons in a course but the scores obtained in any of the lessons are not relevant.
Achieve average score and complete course
Here the student must view all the screens in all of the lessons as well as reach a target average score. The average score is the number of points obtained by the student as a proportion of all points available in the course. The target average score is set in Magnet Administration.
Here a certificate is issued if all lessons that have been set with a passing score have been passed by the student. Any other lessons are ignored. Passing Scores is a new option in Avallain Author which enables the content developer to define if a student has passed or failed a lesson based on the overall score they get in that lesson.
Achieve lesson passing score(s)
Here a certificate is issued if all lessons that have been set with a passing score have been passed by the student. Any other lessons are ignored. Passing Scores is a new option in Avallain Author which enables the content developer to define if a student has passed or failed a lesson based on the overall score they get in that lesson.
Achieve lesson passing score(s) and complete course
With this criteria, the student needs to pass all lessons that have been set with a passing score AND view all the lessons and screens of the course.
Once you have set your issue criteria, be sure to include that criteria in your course content so that the student will know what they need to do to obtain the certificate!
