PM Instructions

When studentOn-generated Demand certificates are enabled for a course, students who pass the course are allowed to generate their own certificates.  The student starts generating a certificate by clicking a button on the progress page.  When the certificate is ready, the student can download it from the student dashboard.

This document describes how to enable studentOn-generated Demand certificates in a course.  Student On-generated certificates Demand certificates can be enabled only after the UX team has configured the certificate template for the course.  Once that occurs, PMs can enable studentOn-generated Demand certificates using the instructor dashboard.
