Problem solved - at least a workaround

It seems that this latest version of the Feedback module requires a change in the roles settings.

I got a hint for this workaround in this discussion:

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=108264

So, to make it possible to add questions you need to:

1. set up a Feedback activity
2. before saving, click on the "Locally assigned roles" tab
3. click on 'Teacher'
4. click on your own name, and add yourself to the left hand column
5. go back to the Settings section, and save

This workaround is not necessary in a moodle system I downloaded via CVS last week (27th Oct, 2008), which included a download of the Feedback module. So, I think this is a bug: it should not be necessary to change the 'Locally assigned roles" in order to use an activity module in a 'normal' way.

Hello,

Having the same problem here.

I just downloaded the 1.9 version form here:

http://www.grabs-edv.de/referenzen/moodle/feedback-Modul/download.php

On clicking on a Feedback activity, none of the tabs appear, si it's not possible to add questions. I'm going to copy over an older 1.9 version from another moodle system. I'll let you know how it goes.

しかし、専門ではない新聞でムードルのことが記載されているのは素晴らしくて、ムードルの普及のため良いきっかけになると思います。

Hello,

This may be of interest to people in Japan, and to readers of Japanese.

The YomiuriShinbun runs a regular feature titled Kyoiku-Runesansu (Education Renaissance). In today's paper (2008 November 5th) there's an article about Moodle. Although I am sure that there have been Moodle articles before, it's the first mention of Moodle that I have seen in a regular Japanese newspaper.

The title of the article is: 「仮想教室」討論を熱く ("Virtual Classroom" Heating up discussions) - my translation.

and the URL is:

The last sentence (国内では、名古屋工業大学や鈴鹿工業高等専門学校などで導入されている。), suggests to me that the reporter is some what out of touch with the reality on the ground. Any way, good to see that Moodle is making headlines.

Jeena,

Unfortunately, with the current versions of Moodle this is not possible, at least not in an automated way.

There is a third-party solution: Activity Locking.

... and if you look at the Moodle Roadmap, you will see that Conditional Activities will be a feature of version 2. Not much use to you now, but something to look forward to .
