Collect learner feedback with the Feedback Widget

Course review usually stops at launch. The Feedback Widget keeps it going: it adds a "Give Feedback" button inside your course itself, so the people taking it in your LMS can send feedback straight into Review My eLearning. Their comments land on the exact slide they were looking at, in the same review queue as everything else.

Learners need no RME account, no login and no email address - and there's nothing to install in your LMS.

Who can set it up

The course's owner or uploader, from the course page in RME. (Developers and reviewers don't see this option.) The course needs an active review cycle, which every uploaded course gets automatically.

Set it up

  1. Open the course in Review My eLearning.

  2. Open the more-actions menu (the ... button, top right) and choose Feedback widget.

  3. Set up the button your learners will see:

  • Position - any corner of the screen

  • Theme - light or dark

  • Button text - up to 30 characters ("Give Feedback" is the default)

  • Accent color - pick a preset or any custom color

A preview shows exactly what learners get. Click Download. RME downloads your course as a package with the widget built in. Upload that package to your LMS, the same way you'd upload any SCORM package.

That's the whole install. No code, no script tags, no LMS plugin.

Republishing? If you export the course again from your authoring tool (Storyline, Rise and so on), the fresh export won't have the widget. Come back and download a new copy from RME after each republish.

What learners see

While taking the course, learners see your feedback button floating in the corner you chose. Clicking it opens a short form that already knows which slide they're on. They enter:

  • A title and a description of the problem or suggestion

  • A category: Content, Audio, Video, Navigation, Graphics, Accessibility, Text or Other

  • Optionally a screenshot - which they can draw on, circling or arrowing the exact thing they mean

Then they submit and carry on with the course. There's nothing to sign up for and no personal details are collected. If your LMS passes the learner's name through SCORM, it's attached to the comment; otherwise the comment shows as "Learner Feedback".

When the review cycle ends, the button quietly removes itself from the course.

Where the feedback goes

Every submission becomes an ordinary RME comment:

  • Placed on the exact slide the learner was on, in the course's current review cycle

  • Tagged with the category they picked, with their annotated screenshot attached

  • Marked as New, so it flows through your normal statuses, assignments and exports like any other comment

  • The course owner gets a notification the moment it arrives

  • Included in comment webhooks (Zapier) like any other comment

Slide tracking works out of the box for courses built in Storyline, Rise, Captivate, Lectora and iSpring; courses from other tools use a generic tracker.
