Soliciting Student Feedback
Add A Student Feedback Activity
Here's how to add a feedback form to your course:
- Go into your course on Moodle and turn editing on via the “Edit Mode” toggle in the upper right corner.
- In the section where you'd like the feedback form to appear, click “Add an activity or resource”.
- In the popup menu, click on "Feedback".
- Enter a name for your feedback activity.
- Optional: Include an explanatory note to students in the "Description" box. Sample language from the TLI office is included below.
- Optional: Include a message for students to read after they have submitted the feedback form. Scroll down and enter it under "After Submission" in the "Completion Message" box.
- Click "Save and Display."
Once you have created a feedback activity, you can select a pre-existing template of questions, or write your own. If you would like to write your own questions, follow the steps below. If you would like to use the pre-existing mid-term or end-of-term feedback templates, please scroll down to the next box.
- Go to the "Edit Questions" tab
- Choose a question type from the "Choose. . ." dropdown.
- Enter your question, and fill out the other options as necessary. (By default, your new question will be included at the end of the feedback survey. You can change the order using the "Move" cursor.)
- At the bottom of the page, there is an option to save questions as a template via a button labeled “Save as new template.”
- Repeat until you have all your desired questions.
Using a Feedback Template
The TLI office has worked with the EdTech team to design a template that can be used for mid-term feedback from students. Other templates are also available.
- Click on the feedback form.
- Go to the “Templates” tab.
- Under "Use a Template" choose “mid-semester feedback template” from the drop-down list.
- Click the gray "Use this template button," and determine whether you would like to either delete old items or append new items in using the template. Make edits to the template as needed, and “Save as new template” at the bottom of the page.
- Name and “Save” the template for use as a form.
Schedule Opening and Closing Dates for Your Feedback Activity
- Turn editing on
- Click on the three dots to the right of the Feedback activity.
- Choose "Edit Settings" from the list.
- Under "Availability", tick the box next to the from date, the to date, or both.
- Enter the dates and times that you'd like to open or close responses to your feedback activity.
- Click "Save and return to course".
Sample Language for A Student Feedback Activity
This language is just a sample - please customize the wording to best fit your communication style and your students.
Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback on our work together this semester so far. Your responses will give me a sense of your experience and help me think about the best ways to support your learning during the second half of the semester. Your responses will remain confidential and will not be associated with your name.
