Template:Moodle 1.6

The Certificate module creates PDF certificates/diplomas for students of the course and is completely customizable. You can add borders, watermarks, seals and even show grade information. It was created by David T. Cannon, and currently maintained by Chardelle Bush.

The current version requires Moodle 1.6.

Installing

  1. Download and Unpack the Certificate_1.6 zip file in a temporary area, keep the paths
  2. Find the folder that is called "Certificate" in the unpacked area
