E-Signatures

Hello LMS family - My colleague and I are in the process of building out a new cert program. This will be the first cert program at my organization that requires learners to e-sign a document and then upload it to the LMS. Does anyone out there have any recommendations on best practices for e-signatures in cert programs? I believe the best route is going to be using Adobe Acrobat for e-signatures, but I would love to connect with someone who has similar requirements for their learners to find out what's working for your organization. Thank you!

We used a SCORM training that was one question, and that question was a "agree / disagree" which we count as an electronic signature or acceptance.

We have a yearly certification program where a signature is required. Learners have the option of printing, signing and faxing or using an Adobe digital signature. Not all of our learners are savy enough to use the digital signature and in some our locations, the manager will collect all of the paper copies and send them in. Due to the legaliities of this cert program, we have assigned an instructor who reviews the documents (you'd be amazed at how many come in without the signature or other required information) and she marks the course complete once she has confirmed the documentation is correct.

At my previous company, we used a checkbox in the course with verbiage something like "By checking this box, I confirm that I am afixing my signature". They can't complete the course without checking the box. This was much easier and I'd recommend using this if it is acceptable for your company.
