It happens regularly that teachers wish to create a “returnfolder” or a “feedback form”. They turn editing on and select the Database module for the first or the Feedback module for the latter. The settings page opens and they fill in the settings and click Save changes. Finished?
NO!
The Database and Feedback modules are not like the Assignment module which is finished and ready to use, as soon as you have saved the settings. They are tools where the settings page only creates the framework of the tool. The questions, or “fields”, have to be added separately (This is what makes these tools so flexible).
In the case of the Database, to create a returnfolder, the easy way is to select the Returnfolder preset and confirm and continue. The database fields will then be created automatically. In the Feedback module there are no presets, so every question must be added separately. However, in both cases, the eLearning Centre is ready to assist.
Just remember: When adding a Database or a Feedback module, saving the settings is only the first step!
