• May add comment or explanation too
• Current version has 4 stars, supposedly equivalent to Ofsted ratings.

4. Ratings visibility
• Teachers see a summary of votes cast and notes left, but not who voted
and what comments they made
• 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

5. Implementing at CNWL:
• Students will need to be registered on the Moodle course to
cast their vote (so teaching staff may need to check
qualcodes are accurately set).
• The purpose of this initiative is we can measure how useful
our on-line provision is to learners and how it supports their
learning
• Various changes made to Moodle code (5 stars, average
calculation, look and feel)
