Certificate of test results

Dear developers

We ask our students to upload a certificate of their test results so that we know that the student has taken the test. Allthough it is no longer required to obtain a certain level we want our students to prove their participation with a certificate of affidavit. Is it possible to introduce the possibility to download this certificate afther the student has done his test? 

Thank you in advance

Dear Katrien,

This is an update to my initial reply to you. We have just received the following information: 

“The language assessment is compulsory only for Higher Education students and recent graduates whose mobility program lasts 14 days or more. 

(Please note: this does not apply to Staff” participants. Staff participants are not required to take the language assessment.)

We are working hard to allow you to download a pdf with the results of your language assessment. In the meantime, as a temporary solution, please take a screenshot of your results page.”



Please let us know if you have any other questions or suggestions. They are most welcome.

All the best,
Iya

Dear Iya,

Katrien, thank you for raising this question. I am also working at an international office as well and we are facing the same issue.

Iya, could you explain to me where exactly this screenshot can be taken by students in a way that it clearly shows their name? I added a screenshot in the attachment after "Finish Review" of the Placement Test in which you can see that the name is only partly visible.

Is there another way to create a screenshot or download of the results, so we can communicate this clearly to our students? Or is there a way that we can get an overview on the Dashboard itself so we can check ourselves if our students have completed the test (for example linked to the Beneficiary tool)?

Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Eline van Remortel

Dear Eline,

Thank you for joining the conversation and for your questions. They are greatly appreciated.

I am in the process of gathering information for you - specific to that of beneficiaries.

Thank you kindly for your patience while I do some digging.

Wishing you a great day,
Iya

Dear Eline,

Thank you for your patience while I conducted my research for you.

To answer:

You're absolutely right, the name of the user is partially covered. I've sent a note to the developers to see if they can do something to address this.

Regarding having an overview of your participants' results using the Beneficiary Tool; the OLS platform is still being updated for the beneficiaries to have the functionalities that would be most useful to them.

On our OLS Assistance page, several items directly address issues beneficiaries may encounter. For your convenience, I've pasted them below:

I am a beneficiary and I cannot find an OLS dashboard to monitor my mobility participants:

https://academy.europa.eu/local/euacademy/pages/faq/question.php?id=22

As a Beneficiary, I cannot find the information I need related to OLS.

https://academy.europa.eu/local/euacademy/pages/faq/question.php?id=20

I am supervising mobility participants who need to complete the OLS language assessment. What should I tell them?

https://academy.europa.eu/local/euacademy/pages/faq/question.php?id=19

There seems to be no BEN USER login for the new OLS. Will there be a dashboard page for institutions? If yes, could you please share with us the required information?

As this one directly pertains to your question, I've copied the text here for you:

"During this initial phase, you only need to send the ready-made email to invite your mobility participants to OLS. They can then complete their language assessments and embark on their online language learning journey.

This simplified process has been made available during the summer period in order to ensure business continuity for OLS users. The new OLS platform is being continually upgraded, including the beneficiary roles (a.k.a. learning managers) that would allow you to directly invite and monitor your mobility participants, so be sure to check back in from time to time! New content is currently being added, and a range of reporting and dashboard tools will be available soon. In the meantime, you could explore OLS from the learners’ perspective."

I hope that this information helps. Please let me know how I can be of further assistance.

Wishing you a lovely day,
Iya

Hello again, Eline.

I’m writing to give you an update we’ve just received:

“The language assessment is compulsory only for Higher Education students and recent graduates whose mobility program lasts 14 days or more.

(Please note: this does not apply to Staff” participants. Staff participants are not required to take the language assessment.)

We are working hard to allow you to download a pdf with the results of your language assessment. In the meantime, as a temporary solution, please take a screenshot of your results page.”

Particular to your initial request regarding what you can tell your students; the test results will be downloadable as a pdf soon. We will send updates to the entire community once this functionality is available. 

All the best,
Iya
