Certificates in Torus let authors set achievement requirements for a course, such as minimum scores or discussion activity. When students meet the conditions, they’re awarded a certificate—either automatically or after instructor approval. Authors can customize the certificate’s design, thresholds, and delivery settings. ⚠️ Certificate requirements must be finalized before creating a course section. They cannot be edited afterward. Why use it? Recognize student achievement through a formal certificate Customize design and thresholds for completion or distinction Track and manage certificates in the instructor dashboard Related Links Demo Video (YouTube) Setup & Documentation (Notion)

AI Activation Points let authors trigger the DOT AI assistant at specific places in a course—such as activities, paragraphs, groups, or full pages. When a student reaches an Activation Point, DOT AI responds based on the custom prompt provided by the author. ⚠️ Requires DOT AI to be enabled in the course section by a system administrator. Why use it? Add context-aware AI responses tied to course content Trigger interactions based on student actions or page visits Use custom prompts to guide DOT AI’s response Related Links Demo Video (YouTube) Setup & Documentation (Notion)

Activities are searchable, taggable, and aligned with learning objectives, making it easy to find what you need. When building a course, you can select a subset of activities from the bank using filters or rules (e.g., random selection, tag-based criteria). This makes it easier to add variety, discourage memorization, and support student engagement. Why use it? Reuse questions across multiple pages without duplicating content Randomly select questions to reduce memorization or cheating Let students skip questions they don’t connect with Centralize activity updates in one place Related Links Watch the demo (starts at 36:55) [/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
