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:

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.
I have used Blackboard, Moodle, and now work at a Canvas university. When grading quiz items. I want the ability to view all of the students' responses to a single item at once. This could allow consistency in grading and speed up the grading process. This functionality has been available in Moodle for over 10 years.
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
Teachers often assume that because an assignment is a groupassignment, they will automatically grade it per group via SpeedGrader. With the option “Grade students individually”, they think they’re simply assigning the group grade to each individual student — without realizing that this option actually requires them to…
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.
