+Certification essentials
+========================
+
+Certifications are a great way to reward your most studious eLearning participants. Users can add
+certifications to their eLearning courses as an official way to "certify" their participants'
+knowledge and expertise.
+
+For example, if you taught a course on woodworking, you could create a generic certification
+filled with important questions about that topic. You can even apply it to any other courses that
+cover similar subjects.
+
+Odoo allows users to create numerous certifications, and adhere them to as many courses as they'd
+like, without having to recreate new certifications for each course.
+
+Getting started
+===============
+
+First, you'll need to activate *Certifications* in the *Settings* of the eLearning application.
+
+To do that, go to
+:menuselection:`eLearning Application --> Configuration --> Settings --> Activate Certifications`
+and hit *Save*.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-setting.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: courses
+
+Then, go to :menuselection:`Courses --> Certifications`.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/courses-certification.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: courses under the certifications menu
+
+Then, click *Create*.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-dashboard.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: certification dashboard create
+
+After titling the certification, users can start adding questions and sections, just like they
+would when creating a standard eLearning course (or survey).
+
+Users can elaborate on the certification (and offer additional information) in the *Description*
+tab. In the *Options* tab, users can thoroughly customize their certification. And in the *Scoring*
+section, users can set the success percentage needed to "pass" the certification.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-scoring.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: certification scoring options tab
+
+They can also modify the email and certification template that the participants see. In addition
+to that, users can also activate the "Give Badge" feature, which rewards participants with a
+virtual "badge" for successfully completing the certification.
+
+Once you've completed your customizations, hit *Save*, and the certification is then finalized, but
+it can be modified at any time.
+
+Also, in the upper-right corner of the certification template, you'll see smart buttons for:
+*Courses*, *Certified*, and *Answers*.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-smart-buttons.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: certification smart buttons
+
+The *Courses* button shows the user how many courses are currently featuring this specific
+certification. The *Certified* button tells the user how many people have been successfully
+certified, via this certification. And, lastly, the *Answers* button takes the user to a page
+showcasing all the answers from each participant.
+
+Applying certifications to courses
+==================================
+
+Open the template of the course you want to add a certification to, and click *Add Certification*.
+A pop-up appears, in which users can title the Certification Content, and select which Certification
+they want to apply.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: certification pop up window
+
+Users can also add an image, *Description*, *Additional Resources*, or a *Quiz*. You can also view
+*Statistics* of the certification here, as well.
+
+Certifications in eLearning courses
+===================================
+
+Once participants encounter the certification, they will be presented with a unique "Pass
+Certification" button.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/pass-certification-incourse.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: pass certification in the course
+
+When pressed, Odoo takes them to a Certification prompt page. Once they are are ready, they can
+begin their certification.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-quiz.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: certification quiz prompt page
+
+After entering their answers to the certification questions, participants are taken to a results
+page.
+
+.. image:: certification_essentials/certification-results.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: certification results page
+
+Here, they'll see their success percentage, along with a graph, visually representing their
+answer attempts.
+
+If they pass, they can click on *Download Certification* and have the certification immediately
+downloaded onto their computer for reference. They can also revisit the course by clicking *Go
+back to course*.

+Course content
+==============
+
+As you build your Odoo eLearning course, you can utilize all sorts of content to create an
+engaging, informative, and interactive course for your participants to enjoy.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+Each piece of content is specific to each course. Remember, you can find all your courses on the
+eLearning dashboard, or by going to :menuselection:`Courses --> Courses` in the header menu.
+
+When you find the course you wish to add content to, simply click on the course title, and Odoo
+redirects you to the course template page. There, you’ll be able to add content.
+
+You could also click on *Contents* in the corresponding course from the dashboard. When you do,
+Odoo takes you to the *Contents* overview page, where you can create content for that course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-contents.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning dashboard contents
+
+Content
+=======
+
+Adding content is one of the first things you’ll do when creating an eLearning course. You can
+add content from the front-end or back-end of your website.
+
+Adding content (front-end)
+==========================
+
+Navigate to a course page on the front-end of your website, and click *+Add Content* (or *Upload
+new content* if your course is in *Documentation* layout.)
+
+You can also add *Sections* to your course in the same way, via the *Add a section* button
+(available in both layouts).
+
+- *Training* layout:
+
+.. image:: course_content/add-content-button.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning add content button
+
+- *Documentation* layout:
+
+.. image:: course_content/upload-new-content-button.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning upload new content button
+
+When clicked, a pop-up appears, in which you can choose what type of content you want to add.
+
+.. image:: course_content/new-content-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning new content pop-up window
+
+The options are:
+
+*  **Presentation**
+*  **Web Page**
+*  **Video**
+*  **Quiz**
+*  **Certification**
+
+When you select a type, a pop-up appears, wherein you can add and customize the content.
+
+Presentation
+------------
+
+By selecting **Presentation**, you can upload PowerPoint presentations (or Word documents) as a
+part of your eLearning course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/presentation-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning presentation pop-up
+
+.. :note::
+   Only JPG, PNG, and PDF files are supported.
+
+Web Page
+------------
+
+You can add a **Web Page** to your eLearning course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/web-page-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning web page pop-up
+
+Instantly create and customize a page for your online course with Odoo's drag-and-drop "Building
+Blocks" and features.
+

+.. image:: course_content/web-page-course-look.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning web page course view for participants
+
+Video
+-----
+
+Odoo allows users to directly upload a video (with YouTube URLs **only**) as part of their
+eLearning course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/video-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning video pop-up
+
+.. note::
+   Once the URL is pasted into the field, Odoo automatically fills in the rest of the pertinent
+   information surrounding the video.
+
+Quiz
+----
+
+You can add a quiz to your eLearning course, which is a great way to gauge how much your
+participants have learned. When **Quiz** is selected as the content type, a pop-up appears.
+
+.. image:: course_content/quiz-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning quiz pop-up
+
+After titling, tagging, and adding a duration to your quiz, be sure to hit *Save & Publish*
+(or just *Save*, if you aren't ready to publish).
+
+Following that, you can create and customize your quiz. To do so, click the *Add Quiz* button
+that appears when you hover over the quiz that you wish to modify on the main course page.
+
+.. image:: course_content/quiz-add-quiz.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning quiz in lineup with add quiz button
+
+When clicked, Odoo redirects you to an empty quiz form on the front-end. You can add as many
+questions (and answers) as you like. And, if you'd like to attach a quick comment to specific
+answers, you can do so by clicking the "i" icon next to the answer.
+
+Don't forget to hit *Save* when finished.

+
+Certification
+-------------
+
+Certifications add a level of legitimacy to your eLearning course. When the pop-up appears,
+simply select which certification you want to apply to this course from the drop-down
+*Certification* menu.
+
+That menu presents you with all the certifications that have already been created in the backend.
+Select the one you want, and your participants can engage with it during your course.

+   Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings --> Activate Certifications`.
+
+.. tip::
+   You can edit, delete, and re-order any content from the front-end, as well.
+
+Adding content (back-end)
+=========================
+
+Start by clicking on *Add Content* located at the bottom of the *Content* tab on the course
+detail form you wish to modify. By default, all new content that’s added to your course appears in
+the last position.
+
+However, you can quickly reorder and rearrange the content (and sections) of your course by
+clicking the arrows to the left of the content, then dragging and dropping it wherever you please.
+
+Each piece of content is classified by *Type*, which is clearly displayed in the *Content* tab.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-content-type.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning content type
+
+Content options
+===============
+
+-  You can add a picture for each piece of content, except for infographics because that image is
+   the content, itself.
+
+-  Feel free to write a brief description of the content, which will be visible on your website.
+
+-  "Additional Resources" allows users to add as many links to their content as they want.
+
+-  The "Allow Preview" feature allows anyone to view the course, even if they aren’t enrolled in
+   the course.
+
+-  The "Duration" is the amount of time it takes to complete the specific piece of content. The
+   sum of *all* content durations create the overall duration of the course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-content-template.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning content template
+
+Content types
+=============
+
+Here's a quick breakdown of the various types of content you can use for your course.
+
+-  **Infographic** Informative visual representations (i.e. charts, diagrams, etc.) that enrich your
+   eLearning course. They *must* be .png files uploaded directly through the photo icon. This
+   displays the image you’ve chosen as your infographic to your participants.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-infographic-content.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning infographic content
+
+-  **Web Page** Utilize an entire web page as part of your course. Give your page a title,
+   *Save*, and edit the page with Odoo's "Building Blocks" and features from the front-end by
+   clicking the "pencil" icon next to the page you want to modify. That redirects you to an empty
+   web page that you can start building from scratch to accompany your eLearning course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-webpage-back-end.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning web page content type back-end
+
+-  **Presentation** Upload any presentation as a part of your course. However, all files must be
+   converted to PDF before uploading.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-presentation-back-end.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning presentation content type back-end
+
+-  **Document** Upload documents, like .pdf or .docx files, directly to your course. (Similar to
+   the *Presentation* type on the front-end, as mentioned above)
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-document-back-end.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning document content type back-end
+
+-  **Video** Odoo only supports videos uploaded with a YouTube URL. Simply copy and paste the
+   YouTube URL in the *Document URL* field.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-video-content.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning video content
+
+-  **Quiz** Users can create a quiz for every single piece of content in their course. The quiz is
+   always multiple choice, and participants can earn points for correct answers. Users create
+   the questions, answers, and decide how many points will be rewarded for these answers in the
+   *Quiz* tab. There is no limit to the number of questions each quiz can have.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-content-quiz.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning content quiz
+
+-  **Certification** Including a *Certification* adds value to your eLearning course. To do so,
+   select *Certification* as the type, and proceed to pick which certification you want to apply to
+   this particular course.
+
+.. image:: course_content/elearning-certification-setting.png

+Course essentials
+=================
+
+Odoo eLearning helps users create (and customize) courses and gets them online in just a matter of
+minutes.
+
+Once you install and open the eLearning application, you're taken to the eLearning dashboard
+(which is the Course Overview, by default).
+
+Create course (front-end)

+
+.. image:: course_essentials/new-course-pop-up.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning new course pop-up front-end
+
+After giving the course a title and tags, you are presented with two layout options: *Training* (on
+the left) or *Documentation* (on the right). Both have their own advantages and display the
+content in unique, engaging ways.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/course-layout-options.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning two different layout options
+
+*Training* courses allow users to track their progress, and provides participants with a clear
+representation of what to expect throughout the course.
+
+*Documentation* courses are similar to *Training* courses, but they provide a more
+visually-appealing layout that showcases the content in a more appealing way.
+
+Here’s the same course in both display types (*Training* and *Documentation*):
+
+*  **Training**
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-training-view.png

+
+Responsible
+-----------
+
+A "Responsible" must be designated for each course. The "Responsible" can access every aspect of
+the course. They’ll be able to see the attendee list, send emails, add content, and so much more.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-responsible.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning responsible options field
+
+The "Responsible" can also be changed at any time. Simply click the arrow next to their name, and
+select a new "Responsible."
+
+Also, if you are working with multiple websites, you can choose *which* website this course is
+displayed on in the *Course* section, as well.
+
+Access rights
+-------------
+
+The "Access Rights" section allows you to decide who can have access to your course.
+
+If you select *Public*, anyone who finds the course on your website can enroll and access the
+content.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-access-rights.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning access rights
+
+Users can send invites to courses from the main eLearning dashboard.
+
+Click the three-dot settings button on the desired course, select *Invite*, and proceed to send an
+emailed invitation to as many potential participants as you want.
+

+
+If you pick *On Invitation* in the *Enroll Policy*, an *Invite* smart button appears on the
+course page (in the upper-left corner). This feature enables users to send mail to potential
+participants about the course.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-enroll-policy-invite.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning enroll policy
+
+Users can also send invites from the course page on the front-end of the website, with the
+*Share* button. That provides you with an access link to the course.
+
+Simply copy the link, and send it to anyone you’d like. There is also an option to share the
+course on *Social Networks* here, as well.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-social-media-share.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning social media share options
+
+Display
+-------
+
+If the course *Visibility* is set on "Public," anyone can see and access the course.
+
+If it’s set on "Members Only," only invited attendees can participate in the course.
+
+If you're creating a *Documentation* course, this is where you can choose what content appears
+first. The options are:
+
+*  **Latest Published** the most recent content is first
+*  **Most Voted** the most liked content (voted on by your participants) is first
+*  **Most Viewed** the most viewed content in your course is first
+*  **Specific** you can choose which content is first
+*  **None** indicates there is no preference about what content shows up first
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-content-display.png

+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning featured content
+
+.. note::
+   Remember, the display is only be affected like this if you have chosen *Documentation* as the
+   "Course Type."
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This tab is fairly self-explanatory. Here, you can write a brief description of the course
+(and its content). These descriptions are a great way for participants to know what they can
+expect from the course.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-description.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning description tab
+
+These unique descriptions appear near the title of your course, on the front-end of your
+website. Once the course is published, anyone who enrolls can access the description.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-front-end-description.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning front-end course description
+
+Publishing courses
+==================
+
+By default, every course starts "Unpublished" and isn't viewable on the website.
+
+You’ll know if a course still needs to be published, if the Earth icon in the *Go to Website* smart
+button on your course template is red.
+
+To publish a course, click the *Go to Website* button, and modify its status on the front-end of
+the website.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-website-earth-red.png
+   :align: center

+You'll find a "Publish" switch on the header of the course page. This switch allows users to
+"Publish" and "Unpublish" courses instantly.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-publish-switch.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning publish switch
+
+Edit from website
+=================
+
+Remember, once a course is created, you can edit it anytime from the front-end of the website, as
+well. You can also add content to your course from here by clicking the *+Add Content* button.
+
+.. image:: course_essentials/elearning-add-content-button.png

+Forums in eLearning
+===================
+
+Forums allow participants of your courses to interact and engage with one another about the
+course and its content. This offers invaluable insight on how your courses are actually being
+received by participants. This helps the creator of the course realize what works (and, what
+*doesn't* work) for his participants.
+
+In forums, participants can ask (and answer) questions with one another, as well as provide

+===================
+Karma and Reporting
+===================
+
+Odoo provides all the tools and data you will ever need to properly (and accurately) manage your
+eLearning courses *and* check on the performance of your participants.
+
+Dashboard
+=========
+
+The eLearning dashboard is the first thing you'll see when you open the application. Here, you'll
+find all the courses that have been created. Each course on the dashboard has
+some easy-to-read statistics, providing a quick overview of the course, its material, and its
+participants.
+
+.. image:: karma_reporting/elearning-dashboard-basics.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning dashboard course statistics
+
+To see what the course looks like on the website, click "*View Course*," and Odoo takes you to
+the course page on the front-end of your website.
+
+To modify any aspect of the course, simply click on the title of the course you wish to change, and
+Odoo takes you to the course template page, which you can freely edit at any time.
+
+If people have left reviews on your course, you can access those by clicking on "Reviews" in the
+course box on the eLearning dashboard. You can also access this page by going to
+:menuselection:`Reporting --> Reviews`.
+
+Karma
+=====
+
+Odoo eLearning allows users to create a gamified environment with unique Karma points.
+Gamification with Karma points is a great way to create a better user experience for your
+participants.
+
+The use of Karma increases engagement, and entices participants to collect as many points as they
+can throughout the course, so they can level up.
+
+You can set points for each action on every course.
+
+.. image:: karma_reporting/elearning-karma-tab.png

+
+Reporting
+==========
+
+Under the *Reporting* menu in the header, you can quickly access in-depth analytics and detailed
+data about your courses, content, revenues, reviews, quizzes, forums, and certifications.
+
+Having access to this high-level of information helps you enhance the quality of your eLearning
+courses moving forward.
+
+.. image:: karma_reporting/elearning-reporting-menu.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning reporting menu
+
+Once you're on the *Reporting* page of your choice, you can easily change the way the data is
+displayed (depending on what you're analyzing at the moment).
+
+Visual options include: bar chart, line chart, pie chart, stacked, list view, pivot view, or
+graph view. Odoo is designed to adapt to any of your analytical needs.
+
+.. image:: karma_reporting/elearning-picture-of-a-graph.png

+
+You can also download all your data (in .xls format) with Odoo's download button, located in the
+list and pivot view of data.

+Mailing in eLearning
+====================
+
+Now that you've completed the creation of your eLearning course, it's time to let your
+participants know about it! And what better way to do *that* then with some mass mailing?
+
+To do that, you'll need to activate the *Mailing* setting in the *eLearning* application
+(:menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings --> Activate Mailing`).
+
+You will also need to install the Odoo *Email Marketing* application for this feature to work, as
+well.
+
+.. image:: mailing/mailing-setting.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning mailing setting
+
+Once activated, the user sees a *Mail Attendees* smart button on every course template page.
+
+.. image:: mailing/mailing-attendees-smart-button.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning mailing attendees smart button
+
+When clicked, the user is taken to a mass mailing template, where they can fully customize and
+design a message to send to all participants of the course. Odoo provides a number of
+professional-grade templates to choose from.
+
+.. image:: mailing/mailing-template.png
+   :align: center

+===============================
+Sell courses and certifications
+===============================
+
+Odoo's user-friendly interface is built to help users sell courses online quickly and easily.
+And the best part is, unlike other online marketplaces, Odoo will *never* take a cent away from
+your sales.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+First, you'll need to open the *eLearning* app, and activate the *Sell on eCommerce* feature. To
+do that, go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings` and activating the
+*Sell on eCommerce* feature.
+
+In addition to this feature, you'll need to install the eCommerce application, too (if you
+haven't already).
+
+Don't worry, Odoo will automatically remind you about this when you activate the
+*Sell on eCommerce* feature.
+
+.. image:: sell_courses_certifications/elearning-sell-on-ecommerce.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning sell on ecommerce feature in settings
+
+Following that, navigate to the template page of the course you want to sell, open the
+*Options* tab, and set the *Enroll Policy* to "On payment." Then, link it to a product.
+
+.. image:: sell_courses_certifications/elearning-enroll-policy.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: course template options tab enroll policy on payment
+
+Create products
+===============
+
+You’ll need to create your course as a product in your catalog in order to sell it. You can do this
+directly from your eLearning course dashboard, by selecting *Create* then *Edit*.
+
+If your product already exists, but you want to modify it, you can always edit it at any time.
+Simply open the product form directly from the course, by clicking the icon next to the product
+name, and make any changes you’d like.
+
+.. image:: sell_courses_certifications/elearning-product-type.png
+   :align: center
+   :alt: elearning course template product type
+
+Remember to give your course an appropriate product title. That way, your customers will know
+exactly what the product is right away without any confusion.
+
+Make sure to set the product as "Can be sold" and select "Service" as the product type. Don’t forget
+to set the "Public Price," which is the value that will be displayed as the sales price for your
+course on the front-end of the website.
+
+Also, if you’d like to add an image to this product, you can do that here, as well. Don't forget
+to hit *Save* before moving on.
+
+Publish the product (course)
+============================
+
+Once you’ve created a new product, it will remain "Unpublished" by default. This means customers
+won’t be able to see it available on the website until it is officially "Published."
+
+In order to publish your course as a product, go to the front-end of the website, and click the
+switch next to "Unpublished."
+
+You’ll know your course is published, and available to all customers, when it turns green and
+reads, "Published."

+
+Sell certifications
+===================
+
+If you wish to sell a certification, simply create a course with the desired certification that
+you want to sell, and follow the same procedure you would to sell a course. This feature allows
+you to sell a certification at the end of a course (or training).
