Evaluations - Built-in Form

This system is a simple way to collect Star Ratings on Courses and Instructors as well as optional comments for feedback. Star Ratings are automatically shown in LearningSite if you have those enabled in Global Settings.

• Moderators are specified on the Evaluation Form rather than Global Settings.

Set the Default Evaluation Form for New Courses

Your site's default evaluation form is selected automatically in the Evaluation Form field of every new course. If no default is set, the field on new courses shows None.

1. Select More from the Main Navigation Bar. Select Evaluation Forms.
2. Select the evaluation form you want to use, for example [Built in Evaluation Form].
3. On the Overview tab, select Click here to make this the default evaluation.
   The page shows "This is the default evaluation form for new courses."
   The form shows a Default label on the Evaluation Forms list.

To stop assigning a form to new courses, open the default form and select Remove Default. New courses then show None again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Evaluation Form field show None on new courses?

Your site has no default evaluation form. Set one with the steps in Set the Default Evaluation Form for New Courses above.

Does changing the default update my existing courses?

No. The default applies only to courses created after you set it. To change an existing course, edit the course, select Evaluation in the Quick Menu, choose the form in the Evaluation Form field, and select Save Course.

Can a retired form be the default?

No. Activate the form first. You also can't retire or delete the current default form. Set a different form as the default first.

Who can change the default?

People with the Evaluation Form Manager role.

I set a default, but no evaluations are collected. Why?

Evaluation submissions must also be turned on in Global Settings > Course/Event Evaluation Settings.
