Please refer to this article to learn how to embed your collection: Embedding in a Webpage

Can I Use Widgets If My Collection is Gated?

Yes, you can use widgets for gated collections, if the learner access method is set to either Email Verification or Specific Learners.

How Does It Work?

When you use widget for a gated collection using one of these access methods, your learners will be prompted to enter their email address. After submitting their email, they will receive a verification code. Once they enter the correct code, they will be able to access and experience your course content directly on your website, without being redirected elsewhere.

This ensures that access to your collection is restricted only to verified users, while still providing a seamless experience within your own site or product.

Important Note About Pay-Wall Gateways

Currently, pay-wall gateways (such as Stripe or Lemon Squezzy) are not fully compatible with Widgets. This is because payment gateways require learners to complete the payment process on an external site, which means they will be redirected away from your website to finalize their purchase. As a result, the widget experience is interrupted.

If you require payment before access, we recommend linking to your course or collection directly instead of using with widgets, so that the payment and access flow remains smooth for your learners.

Please reach out us via Messenger on bottom right if you have any question about Widgets.

With Mini Course Generator, setting up certificates is quick and easy, allowing you to effortlessly reward your learners with a sense of accomplishment.

Let’s see how.

How to set up certificates?

On your collection, go to Certification tab and create a certificate.

Now that you created a certificate, learners that complete this collection will earn a certificate.

Two options are available to reward learners, completion certificate or success certificate.

• If you’d like to reward every learner that completes the collection, choose Completion Certificate.
• If you’d like to set a specific success threshold and reward only the learners above the success threshold, choose Success Certificate and set a success rate.

Success rate of a collection is sum of mini-course scores divided by the mini course number. Mini-course score is the percentage of correct answers given to all quiz questions in a mini-course. If there aren’t any quiz questions in the mini-course, score of learner is always 100%.

Customize the Certificate

Now that we’ve decided who gets a certificate when, let’s design what we’d like to share with our learners.

Click on change template to see all of our available templates and choose one.

Create Template

If you prefer, you can create your own certificates from scratch instead of using our pre-defined templates.

To customize your certificate, click Create Template button, remove the background image and upload your own design from Source.

You have the flexibility to add new text blocks as required. You can also remove all existing text blocks and dynamic attributes.

You can modify the style of your text blocks, including adjusting the size, font, and color. Text can be formatted as bold, italic, or underlined. Additionally, you can change the alignment of the text blocks.

You can use four dynamic attributes: Collection name, Recipient name (Learner name), Certificate ID, and the date the certificate was issued.

You can also choose a certificate you’re using for another collection. To do this, find the desired certificate under “My Designs” when you click on change template.

Note: Certificates work collection-based. If you’d like to give certificates for a single mini-course, it has to be the only mini-course in its collection.

Note: If your collection’s Learners’ Access setting is everyone can access, as there isn’t a login barrier, the learner name doesn’t get collected. Therefore, your certificates {recipient.name} attribute, which is learner name and surname, will be empty at all times.

You can also customize the message displayed when the certificate is earned. The Customize Message area is an HTML editor in which you can embed media, upload images, add a hyperlink and format your text the way you’d like.

Check here for details on how to embed media.

Nice! Our certificate is ready to go. Let’s see how it looks.

Certificates come with a unique Credential ID and a URL for easy validation. Additionally, they are easily shareable on social media, allowing learners to showcase their achievements with ease. For added flexibility, certificates can be downloaded as JPG files, making them accessible for both online and offline use.

If you have a custom domain set up for your collection, your learners’ credential url will be in line with your custom domain. Click here for further details on custom domains.

Creating a certificate for your collection is quick, simple and takes only a few minutes. Your learners are driven by the promise of recognition, knowing their achievements will be rewarded with a certificate. Plus, the certificates can be shared online effortlessly, offering a great opportunity to enlarge your learner community!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Give Certification at the End of a Mini Course?

If you want to award a certificate at the end of a specific mini course, you can do so by creating a new collection and placing only that mini course inside it.

If your collection has only one mini course, the certificate will be given as soon as the mini course is finished.

To make sure learners don’t see your other mini courses, turn on the Hide related mini courses option in the general tab of your collection’s settings. This will keep the focus on the single mini course in the collection.

The post Certification appeared first on Mini Course Generator.

When you open “Share” menu, you can see the share link of the collection. If you want to display the social sharing button on your collection, make sure that the related option is activated.

When you activate this option, your share link is modified to display the following button on your collection. Hence, your learners can share your collection on their social media more easily and faster.

After copying the share link of your collection, you can share it with your learners.

For learners that don’t complete your content in one sitting, or those who would like to revisit, it is best to share the access link where members of your community can reach repeatedly.

Suppose that you’re a life-coach, and you use a Discord server for your community. Or, you manage an Instagram account. With such use-cases, pinning the share link somewhere learners can access easily again and again would be useful.

Note: When you click on the “View” button on your collection, it actually opens the collection with its share link in a new tab on your browser. You can share your collection by copying that link, too; however, that link will not show social sharing buttons.

Note: If you own a domain, you can customize this share link by adding a custom domain to your account. For detailed information, click here.
