Creating Feedback Questionnaires in Moodle
Create the Feedback Activity
Go to the Moodle homepage and enable Edit mode in the top-right corner (if not already enabled).
Expand the right sidebar (if not already expanded), then scroll to the bottom of the "Main menu" block and click "Add an activity or resource".
Click "Feedback".
Enter the questionnaire title (Name), description and other details.
Optional: In the "Availability" section, set start and end dates.
In "Common module settings", set "Availability" to "Hide on course page" (until you're ready to publish it - see below).
In the "Restrict access" section, click "Add restriction" then "Mobile app". Click the symbol to change it to , and change the dropdown to "Access NOT using the Mobile app". (This is necessary because there is a bug in the Moodle mobile app that causes responses to be attributed to the wrong course. We hope to be able to remove this restriction in the future. This doesn't need to be applied to site-wide feedback forms that aren't course-specific.)
Click "Save and display".
Populate the Form
If you want to use a template: Click "Templates", then select a template to preview it. Once you find the one you want, click "Use this template", then select "Delete old items" and click "Save".
Alternatively, you can click "Questions" and create the form from scratch using the controls provided.
Optional: If you need to make any changes to the template, or create a new one, make them on this page, then click "Save as new template".
Assign It to Courses
Click "Mapped courses". Select each of the courses from the dropdown, then click "Save changes".
Warning: Do not select the "Mathematical Institute" course (which refers to the homepage) - otherwise we can't tell which course they were trying to submit feedback for.
Make It Available to Students
When you're happy with it, change Settings > Common module settings > Availability to "Show on course page" to publish it.
To complete the questionnaire, students will need to browse to the relevant course page and click the activity title in the "Feedback" block.
As noted above, it is currently not possible for students to submit feedback using the mobile app - they should be instructed to use a web browser instead.
If you would like to send a link directly to students, browse to the relevant course page, right-click the feedback form title and copy the URL. Note that it must be in the format https://courses.maths.ox.ac.uk/mod/feedback/view.php?id=123&courseid=456, with the course ID included - if you copy the link directly from the homepage, which doesn't include a course ID, students will see the error "You can only access this feedback form from a course". (It is not currently possible to generate a link that works for all courses.)
