Feedback FAQ

How can I allow non-logged in users to give feedback?

As an adminstrator, go to Administration>Site Administration>Plugins>Activity Modules>Feedback.
Change "Allow full anonymous" to "yes"
Note that this only works for the front page, and NOT for courses with guest access.
You will also need to check that Authenticated User and Guest role both have permission to Submit Feedback Activity.

How can I allow teachers and non editing teachers to give feedback?

1) Go into the course as admin 2) Click on your feedback you want to use for your teachers 3) Click on "Permissions" inside the Administration block 4) In the dropdown list "Advanced role override" choose "Teacher" or how ever your teacher role is named 5) Look for "mod/feedback:complete" and set it to "Allow" 6) Click on "Save changes"

How do I create a Feedback activity and add questions?

From the Add an activity... drop down, select Feedback.
Complete the Name, Description, and other options then save.
To add questions to your Feedback activity, click the link for the feedback activity, click the Edit questions tab, and add questions.

How can a teacher make a feedback template public for use elsewhere?

The teacher would have to have permissions set so that they could put the Feedback on the front page and set it for full anonymous submissions. It is possible to create the Feedback in a Main Menu block which can then be deleted to effectively hide the Feedback from the front page but it still be accessible (much like orphaning activities in a course). The teacher would also need permissions to access the analysis and responses tabs.

Can I make questions dependent on previous responses?

Yes. See the section on Dependence item and Dependence value in Building Feedback.

See Template creator

I do not see the Edit Questions tab. What should I do?

This does happen sometimes. Usually, logging out of the course and then logging back in will take care of this problem.
