How to Set up Credits and Certification in Zuddl
‘Credits and certifications’ is a feature on Zuddl Events that lets your attendees earn credits for attending sessions and get certificates for those credits. This is especially useful for academic or professional training events, like Continuing Professional Education (CPE) courses.
You can customize how the credits are offered and also the certificate itself.
Customize how credits are awarded
- Go to Event Setup > Engagement and toggle on Credits & certifications.
- Click Customize credits to open the setup panel.
- Under Select criteria, choose the criteria you want to add for this configuration. You can add configurations based on Watch time, Polls, or even a combination of both.
- Next, under Select sessions, select all the sessions for which you want to offer credits with this configuration.
- If your criteria is watch time, you can enter a time range in the From and To fields, and select the number of credits to offer in that range (for the selected sessions) under Credits per session.
- Click Add time range to add more ranges with different credit settings.
