Feedback Activity

The Feedback module is a student-survey activity where you create and conduct surveys to collect feedback. It differs from Survey tool as it allows you to write your own questions, rather than choose from a list of pre-written questions and unlike the Quiz tool, you can create non-graded questions. You can use Feedback Activity to get feedback on any topic, gauge learner's opinions , predict certain improvements and suggestions.

Feedback Settings

Feedback module is disabled by default. To use, it must first be enabled by the Administrator by going to:

Administrator can also "Enable Feedback Block" by:
