5. Ratings visibility
• Teachers see a summary of their students’ votes and comments, but not
who voted (i.e. they are anonymous)
• Students will be able to see the current average rating for their courses,
and other courses at the College
• For administrators, there is a comprehensive report detailing the courses with
most/least votes, etc

6. Implementing at CNWL:
• Students will need to be registered on the Moodle course to
cast their vote (so Faculties may need to check qualcodes
are accurately set).
• Explanatory text emphasises that learners are rating the
Moodle component of their course, not their experience as
a whole
• The existing Moodle program has been customised for
CNWL (5 stars, average calculation, look and feel)
