Setup requirements & prerequisites for earning certificates

If you would like students to meet certain prerequisites and requirements in order to earn a certificate, that can be setup via the Lessons tool. The link to earn a certificate won't be available until students have completed specific tasks setup in Lessons.

Step 1: Setup prerequisites and required items

  1. In your Isidore site, navigate to the Lessons tool or subpage that contains the items you would like to require or make prerequisites.
  2. Hover over each item and click on the "edit" (pencil/paper) icon next to it.
  3. Expand the "Prerequisites & Requirements" section.
  4. If an item is a prerequisite for another item, check the box next to "Don't Release Item Until All Prerequisites are Completed".
  5. If an item is required, check the box next to "Require that the student use this item".
  6. Click on Update Item.

Step 2: Ensure items are in the correct order

To ensure that items are in the correct order:

  1. Navigate to a Lessons tool or subpage in your Isidore course site.
  2. Click on Reorder.
  3. Drag the items into the correct order.
  4. Click on Save.

Note: You'll want to make sure that the Simple Certificate link is the last item on the Lessons page. This will ensure that students can't receive a certificate until they've successfully completed the requirements and prerequisites. You can use the Reorder Content feature to move it to the bottom of the list.
