Hi everyone,

I would like to inform you about one workaround I have found.

In our system, we use quizzes as a final assessment in courses with certificates. Previously, the certificate would print the course completion date, which would in this case be the date when everything, including the quiz, was completed.


For the new solution:


Quiz grading method: "Last attempt"

Certificate print date: Completion of final quiz


With this setup, the certificate can be unlocked by completing the quiz, with the date printed as usual. If the quiz is completed again in the future, the date on the certificate is updated. If the quiz is failed in the future, the certificate becomes unavailable until the quiz is passed again (effect of the grading method "Last attempt", instead of highest grade). For our case, we don't really care about the score in quizzes, a pass grade is enough and the score is never displayed on certificates.

I hope this could help someone, let me know if you have any questions 🙂


Best,
Oliver
