Overview We’ve built a new, flexible certificate and credential system that supports PDF certificates, multiple eligibility rules (not just grades), tiered recognition, and badges; all built to be extensible and maintainable. Problem The certificates you can create in Open edX today mostly just loo…

Thanks for sharing putting this together, Cassie! A few thoughts and questions: Will there be weighting or anti-spam logic? For example, how do we prevent “spam” engagement just to earn a badge? How will authors define certificate logic? Is there a form-based builder, or do they configure rules ma…

this looks cool, especially plug-in support for custom logic and generation. I have a few questions: How will this integrate with the current Credentials IDA? Will use the Badges and Verifiable Credentials apps that are already in that IDA? That IDA is already extensible and plug-in ready for Bad…

I’m curious to know how this was implemented. I suspect that it was built as a new platform plugin, but please let me know whether that’s correct. We’ve been investing in adding things like badging, verifiable credentials integration, Credly and Accredible integrations via the Credentials IDA. I …

@e0d Exactly what you thought. Here is the repo GitHub - open-craft/learning-credentials .

@arunmozhi I would love to see credential and certificate flexibility being part of a coherent architectural plan (which does not mean that I am possessive about keeping that coherent plan being the existing, separate, Credentials IDA; I know @e0d has been thinking for a while about moving that func…

I love this increased level of criteria for certificates! In our Ethiopian use case, we actually had many complaints that learners would game the system by just jumping ahead to the quizzes and guessing the answers to the multiple choice questions so they could get their certificates (which are re…

@deborahgu I fully agree about creating an ADR to discuss the architectural plan. I think the main reason @cassie created this post in the “Feature Requests” section and didn’t include the link to the plugin right away was, probably, to avoid the conversation getting into the technical bits too ear…

@deborahgu and @Mahnoor_Sarwat I’m compiling a list of answers to your questions and will answer them in one fell swoop :slight_smile: @egordon :woman_dancing: :star_struck: Thanks for the great feedback. It’s really helpful to hear how this plays out in the real world. And how this could be a posi…

[image] Cassie: [image] egordon: I would point out that we’ve noticed some “glitchiness” in the completion percentage (we have some users who report that they cannot get to 100% but are stuck at 98%, even when they have done everything) @Agrendalath @arunmozhi Do you know if anyone is awa…
