5 The Feedback-Module is intended to create individual surveys in an easy way.
7 This module consists of two parts
8 a) the "activity" feedback (required)
9 b) the "sideblock" feedback (optional)
11 The activity is the main part an can run without the block. Here you can create, fill out or analyse the surveys.
12 The sideblock is an optional part. It works as a bridge between different courses and
13 an central placed feedback-activity. So you can create one feedback on the main site of moodle and then publish
22 The zip-archive includes the same directory hierarchy as moodle
23 So you only have to copy the files to the correspondent place.
24 copy the folder feedback.zip/mod/feedback --> moodle/mod/feedback
25 and the folder feedback.zip/blocks/feedback --> moodle/blocks/feedback
26 The langfiles normaly can be left into the folder mod/feedback/lang.
27 The only exception is the feedback-block. The langfile is block_feedback.php and
28 have to be copied into the correspondent lang folder of moodle/moodledata.
29 All languages should be encoded with utf8.
31 After it you have to run the admin-page of moodle (http://your-moodle-site/admin)
32 in your browser. You have to loged in as admin before.
33 The installation process will be displayed on the screen.
