I am creating a faculty training course. Upon their successful completion, I want to give them a certificate but I'd like for their name to be on it. Is there some way to grab the user's name and insert it on the certificate? Thank you.
Hello @SteveDwinnells ...
I am not sure if you are a Canvas administrator or an instructor at your school. That being said, I am not sure if your school has paid for this third-party application to integrate with Canvas or not, but I believe that Accredible would be a possible solution for you.
Accredible Certificates & Badges
If you are not a Canvas administrator, you might want to have a conversation with the person who is at your school to see if your school has anything like this available. The above link is probably more for your Canvas administrator, but here's a link to Accredible's website:
Digital badge and certificate platform | Accredible
In my former role as a Canvas administrator in higher education, I had a little experience helping set up Accredible in our Canvas environment as well as setting up a digital certificate. If I recall correctly, once a student finished the training course that these certificates were in, it would display their name on it...just like you are asking about. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to this, so I wouldn't be able to answer specifics...but I wanted to throw this out there as a possible solution for you.
I hope this will be helpful to you! Take care...be well.

In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many higher‑education instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
