2008 TLT Symposium
"The Collaborative Campus and the Culture of Teaching and Learning"
The 2008 TLT Symposium was a smash! Go to 2008 Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium to take advantage of some of the great events that took place during the Symposium including blog posts and photo sharing. You'll also find podcast interviews of faculty members sharing their stories and much more.
I'm looking to use ANGEL to create a "certificate" once a participant completes an evaluation. I would create an HTML template that would insert the participant's name in a predefined location. Has anyone tried this before?
I haven't done this personally, but I see no reason why it should not work. Do you have any questions on implementation? I can give you a process for it if you're interested.
Edit: For the benefit of all, I might as well just go ahead and be more explicit.
To create the certificate, create a new page on the Lessons tab. You can use the HTML editor to create the certificate or, if you are creating the certificate offline, paste the HTML for the certificate into the page text field (note: make sure you include only the HTML between the body tags; don't include the head section). In the space where you want the student's name to appear, insert $FIRST_NAME$ $LAST_NAME$ . This will be replaced by the first and last name of the student when they view the certificate.
Set a password beginning with an exclamation point (e.g. !password). This will hide both password-protect the certificate and hide it from students.
Set up the quiz or survey which will unlock the certificate. Set an UNLOCK action to unlock (and unhide) the certificate using the password that you created, including the exclamation point. You can also set up a REDIRECT action to automatically send the student to the certificate.
