This refers to Moodle 4.1 from December 2023 onwards.  

How to: Add a Feedback activity

The Feedback tool allows you to create and conduct surveys to collect feedback. Unlike the Survey tool 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. The Feedback activity could be used for course evaluations outside the National Student Survey.

Adding a Feedback activity to your module 

  1. Navigate to your module and turn on 'Edit mode'  (top right)

  • "Allow multiple submissions": Do you want a student to submit feedback more than once? Only enabled for anonymous feedback.
  • "Enable notification of submissions": If enabled, teachers will receive notification of feedback submissions
  • "Auto number questions": Adds question numbers automatically.

You can choose to 'Show analysis page' and a 'Completion message'.

By default after a feedback is submitted the target of the continue button is the module page. You can define another target URL for this continue button by entering it into the 'Link to next activity' box.
