Hello and welcome to our step-by-step guide for setting Feedback Reflection elements into your module on Teachfloor.
📌 What Is the Feedback Reflection Element?
(See screenshot below)
The Feedback Reflection Element allows learners to view feedback they received—either from instructors or peers—and actively reflect on it. You can enhance the experience by adding rubric-based questions, enable anonymous participation, and track completion through learner response.
It's a powerful learning tool that closes the loop between evaluation and growth.
Why Feedback Reflection is important?
Feedback reflection is essential for helping students actively engage with their learning. Encouraging students to think about and apply feedback helps them understand their mistakes, improve their skills, and take ownership of their progress.
When students reflect on feedback, they develop a growth mindset, turning insights into meaningful learning experiences that enhance their confidence and performance.

When you visit the course's Curriculum page, you want to add a Feedback Reflection. Click on the edit button. you will see a (+) Add Element.
Click on (+) Add Element on the left side of the screen. Now, you will see a list of elements. Scroll down, and in the assessment section, click the Feedback Reflection.

⚙️ Step 1: Configure General & Common Settings
Before we dive into Feedback-specific options, first complete the shared element settings:
Cover Image (optional branding)
Title/Name of the element
Description of what learners should expect
Resources learners may need to review before the reflection
Visibility Rules to determine who sees this element
Requirements (prerequisite content learners must finish first)
Metadata for internal tagging and filtering
📘 You can learn more about these universal settings here:
🎯 Step 2: Connect to a Source
You can link this reflection activity to a prior peer review or assignment.
This means learners will reflect on the feedback they received for a specific submission.
🔗 How to Link a Source:
Use the “Source” dropdown to select a previous assignment or review that generated feedback.
This ensures the learner sees relevant, contextual feedback during the reflection.
📌 If no source is linked, learners will still see the reflection activity but without targeted feedback.

🔍 Step 3: Configure Feedback Reflection Settings
(See screenshot below)
Now, coming to the main settings of Feedback reflection:
i. Reflection Questions
You can enable/disable the reflection questions. Learners will reflect on their feedback and answer them, or make them watch their review, which will also complete the module.
(See screenshot below)
If you have decided to add the questions, you will see an Edit Questions button, clicking it will open a window of questions interface where you can add questions.
(See screenshot below)
There are five different types of questions you can add:
Type | Description |
Open Questions | Learners type freeform responses |
Numeric Rating | Learners rate using numbers (e.g., 1–10) |
Text Scale | Likert-scale style questions with options like “Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree” |
Yes/No | Quick binary answers |
Information Section | Use this to provide instructional content or guidelines (no input required) |
(See screenshot below)
ii. Anonymous
(See screenshot below)
When enabled, the identities of peers are hidden.
Learners will not know who gave them feedback, and their responses remain anonymous to others.
This is ideal for:
Sensitive feedback
Safe, non-judgmental reflection spaces
Peer-to-peer environments where anonymity boosts honesty
ii. Deadline
(See screenshot below)
Add a due date to ensure learners complete the reflection within a certain timeframe.
Select a date from the calendar
Learners will see this as a visible deadline on their dashboard
iii. Reminders
(See screenshot below)
Choose when you want to automatically notify learners before the reflection is due:
🔔 1 hour before deadline
🔔 8 hours before deadline
🔔 1 day before deadline
You can enable one, two, or all three.
These reminders ensure learners don’t forget to engage with the reflection.
