What are Certifications?
Certifications enable you to attach credits, normally kept as hours, to courses in the VISION Developer module and then keep track of the accumulated credit hours in VISION Learning Station. Every time a student completes course that has credits associated with it, VISION Learning Station calculates the credits that should be applied for the student, making it easy to track and report student progress. Credits are only applied when the student obtains a passing score or higher.
With the VISION Certification module, you can do the following:
•Create different categories of certification credits.
•Assign certification credits to lessons.
•Track the credits that students earn when they complete a lesson.
•Create reports detailing each student’s completion of each certification.
