Hello,
We would like to suggest an enhancement to the certificates feature.
Use case:
Many of our learners attend courses primarily for learning and enrichment rather than assessments. While they may not complete exams, they actively attend live sessions or watch recorded classes. Currently, there is no way to recognize this engagement through certification.
Requested feature:
A Certificate of Attendance that can be awarded based on:
Percentage of live sessions attended (e.g., 70% or more), and/or
Completion of recorded session viewings
This certificate would be separate from the existing Certificate of Completion, which is assessment-based.
Why this is important:
A large portion of our learners take courses as a hobby or for personal development
Offering a Certificate of Attendance would significantly increase certification value for engaged learners
It would reduce pressure on assessments while still maintaining academic rigor for completion certificates
Suggested implementation (optional):
Ability to define attendance thresholds for live meetings
Option to combine live attendance + recording completion
Support for issuing multiple certificates within a single course
We believe this feature would be highly valuable for institutions offering live or hybrid learning models.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.
