Revision as of 14:37, 2 April 2008

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 https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Feedback http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=95 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.

Which Elements?

Page

The properties that would be good to include: No response General rating Lacking: Linkage Content Language gram

Quiz questions (even lesson and feeedback and questionnaire?)

This is very important. If I had to chose between Page and Question, I'd chose page.

Since evaluation questions are very important to the learners, they are very motivated to see that they are clear.

This can also be a way to make students an active part of the quiz creation/improvement process.
