Provide Certification for your Online Courses with Odijoo

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Odijoo’s new Certification feature allows you to create, customize and issue custom Completion Certificates to those students who have successfully passed your courses.

Simply create a course , grade your students and set up the look and feel of the certificate you’d like to issue. After you determine which students passed your course, one click of a button is all it takes to issue your certificate. Each certificate is automatically generated into a .PDF file and can be customized to include any or all of the following:

For example, you can:

  • Change the border colour
  • Add a Crest
  • Dynamically generate and place your Course, Instructor(s) and/or Student names on the certificate
  • Show credit hours and/or letter grade achieved
  • Add your own custom text to the certificate
  • And more…

Certificates are a great way to give your students something tangible upon completing your course and can help legitimize and finalize your training process.

To try it out for yourself, simply:

1. Create your course content and turn it into an Odijoo classroom

2. Get some students into your classroom. You can do this by either:

  • Inviting students into your classroom yourself
  • Putting your course up in the Odijoo Marketplace for any Odijoo user to join for free
  • Selling enrollment to your course in the Odijoo Marketplace

3. Add completion reports to your classroom give your students a final grade of “Pass” or “Fail”.

  • Set grading criteria, to determine what a student must do to pass the course and inform your students of it
  • Add elements such as quizzes and discussions to your classroom and grade your students based on these elements
  • Give you students a final grade of “Pass” or “Fail” based on their discussion participation and/or quiz scores

4. Add and issue an Odijoo Certificate.

  • Navigate to Classroom>Completion Reports and select “Manage Certificates” on the right.
  • Create and customize your certificate to include the information you require
  • When satisfied with your certificate, click “Issue Certificate” and the certification will automatically be given to all students that have passed the course, based on your Completion criteria.

Syndicating your Knowledge Online in 4 Easy Steps

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

If you’re a subject matter expert, syndicating your knowledge means sharing your expertise with students, without needing to be a teacher. For example, if you know a lot about Sales, you can create a Sales Training Course and rather than teaching it to your students, you can sell the course for whatever price you want. Once buyers buy the course, they can either use it to learn themselves, or publish it into a classroom and re-teach it to their own students.

You can get started in four easy steps:

  1. First, turn your knowledge into an eLearning course, with Odijoo’s built-in course authoring tool. Alternatively, if you have PowerPoint slides ready, you can use Odijoo’s Import PowerPoint function.
  2. Make your courses more effective, by adding colors, images, embedded videos, narration and more, using Odijoo authoring tool.
  3. Set a syndication fee of your choosing for the course – this is the price each user pays when they buy your course.
  4. Share your course with Odijoo users in the Odjioo Marketplace.

Now all you need to do is sit back and watch as your knowledge gets monetized. Every time someone purchases your syndicated course, you get paid – it’s that simple!
