Course Rating Block

The course rating block allows students to rate courses between 1 and 5 stars. Can also be configured to allow text ratings and peer suggestions. 

This block can be installed on request to your Totara site, please raise a ticket with the support desk to do so.

Block settings

/admin/settings.php?section=blocksettingcourserating

Enable text review: If checked the reviewer can also leave enter text along with their star rating.

Enable peer suggestion of courses: Allow reviewers to search for other users to recommend the course to

Bypass no-reply email: If a no-reply email is configured for your site then this bypasses that restriction so the message comes from the email address of the person making the suggestion.

Character limit: Character limit of text reviews if enabled

Enable multiple ratings: Allow a single person to review more than once

Using the block

Use the standard Totara workflow to add the rating block to a course: https://help.totaralearning.com/display/TL110/Blocks

To add a block to your course follow these steps:

1. Select Turn editing on for the particular page.
2. Find the block you want to add from the Add a block dropdown menu.

Once added to a course any enrolled user can rate the course by clicking on the star scale.

Depending on what is enabled for your site they can also:

• Enter a text rating (click the Review button and type their review)
• Recommend to other users (click Recommend and start typing, the list will populate with user matches)
• Mark other users' text ratings as useful (click "I found this review useful")
• Rate/review more than once
