Setting up dynamic educator name, position, and signature (optional) 

Attributes enable the display of dynamic information on certificates, allowing course administrators to add their signature, name, and position to the certificate of their respective courses.

Step 1

Under Designs > Create Badge Design or Create Certificate Design, navigate to the Attributes tab in the left-hand sidebar menu.

Step 2

From there, you can choose the specific information from your course details that you want to display on your certificate design.

Step 3

There are multiple pre-made attributes available for use in your certificate designs. These options consist of your institution name, institution logo, teacher name, teacher position, teacher signature, and more.

If you cannot find an attribute for a specific piece of information that you want to include in your credentials, such as a tutor's name or an exam score, you can simply scroll to the bottom of the attribute list and click on Manage Attributes.

Step 4

Choose the placement of your certificate, and it will show up according to the credentials set up for your course in OpenLearning.

 

Optional:

You can also add a QR code to the certificate to link it to the credential's online version, allowing others to verify its authenticity. 

To do this, click on the QR code tab (below Attributes) and then click Add QR Code. This will generate a QR code on your certificate. Move the QR code to your desired placement.
