The latest version of the WISDM RRF plugin now offers the ability to create surveys to collect student feedback. You can set surveys that are displayed once on course completion. Surveys offer a quick, low-effort way to get student opinion on a course.

With v2.1.0 of WISDM RRF now allowing students to upload images and videos — in addition to text when posting reviews — you can be assured that a higher number of potential students would engage with this content.

Images and videos could also help students point out exactly what they’re describing, and make it easier for you to comprehend that information.
