Certificate Plugin
- Michael Hughes
Due to the plugin no longer being compatible with the latest versions of Moodle, the University of Strathclyde's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) service, Myplace, has deprecated the "Certificate" plugin as of 2018. This plugin has been replaced by the more versatile "Custom Certificate" plugin. The change is designed to provide enhanced flexibility and a more user-friendly experience when generating certificates

Deprecation roadmap
What does this mean?
The deprecation of the "Certificate" plugin means that users will no longer be able to use it within Myplace. Instead, they should transition to using the "Custom Certificate" plugin, which brings:
Enhanced Customization: Users can design certificates to better fit their needs, including choosing fonts, adding images, and incorporating dynamic elements such as names and course details.
Improved User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive design and navigation of the "Custom Certificate" plugin make it easier for users to create professional-quality certificates without technical expertise.
The plugin will no longer be available as of the 2024/2025 version of Myplace
Accessibility
A complete loss of functionality has not been observed as an issue, given that the "Custom Certificate" plugin offers essential features with improved capabilities and alternatives.
