Enabling Feedback Module

Feedback is disabled by default. To use it in a course, it must first be enabled by an administrator.
As an administrator, go to Administration > Site Administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Manage activities
Turn on the (open) eye of "Feedback"

Enabling Feedback Block

To provide the option of adding a Feedback block to a course, you must first ensure the block type has been enabled. When added to a course, the Feedback block will display a list of all Feedback activities associated with a course. This is helpful for when you want to draw the user's attention to completing the Feedback activity.

Go to Administration > Site Administration > Plugins > Blocks > Manage blocks
Turn on the eye of "Feedback" here to in order to have Feedback as a block.

With the editing turned on,in the section you wish to add your feeback, click the "Add an activity or resource" link (or, if not present, the "Add an activity" drop down menu )and choose Feedback. All settings may expanded by clicking the "Expand all" link top right.
