Feedback link for all elements

The web is more and more social in that the users/readers of content are more and more invited to influence the content. This is especially true for support pages that are for help people learn to do things. A couple examples: [Google "was this helpful?"]; [Microsofts ditto].

Therefore it seems very important that this feature is lacking in Moodle, especially considering its social constructivistic underpinnings. It seems natural that this should be implemented, indeed almost a glaring miss.

There is a form for collecting feedback in Moodle which can be used for making course evaluations etc. The problem is that it is difficult to get people to spontaneusly report suggestions, critisisms etc at all. If they have to find and go to another page, formulate a description of where they came from and what they want, felt etc, there are few that will do it, and the quality of the feedback will often lack crucial details so it may be useless.

Collecting feedback in a general form at the end of a course has many lacks. The students are poorly motivated (they won't be getting any use of changes that are made). Many annoyances, suggestions will have been forgotten. Those that are remembered will be difficult to describe accurately.

Having some kind of general course feedback early in a course is a good idea and can, of course, meet the first problem.
