About this template
An eLearning course feedback form is how online educators close the loop with their learners and drive continuous improvement. Unlike in-person instruction where instructors can read the room and adjust in real time, online courses are static — the only way to know what's working is to ask. Structured feedback at course completion reveals patterns that individual emails never will: if 40% of learners rate pacing as too fast, that's a course redesign signal, not an outlier.
More about this template
This template is organized into a quantitative ratings section followed by qualitative open-ended questions, then two recommendation questions that function as a digital Net Promoter Score. This structure gives you both the data you can chart over time and the narrative detail you need to understand the 'why' behind each rating. Separating completion status also lets you segment feedback from learners who finished versus those who dropped out partway — two very different data sets.
formformform makes distributing this feedback form frictionless. Paste the link into your course completion email, embed it on the final lesson page, or drop it into your LMS as a required post-course activity. Every response lands in your dashboard and triggers an email notification so nothing slips through the cracks.

Best practices for your elearning course feedback form
Send the feedback request immediately after completion
learners are most motivated to respond within 24 hours of finishing a course.
Make name and email optional
anonymous feedback tends to be more candid, especially about negative experiences.
Include a pacing question
it's one of the most common complaints in online learning and gives you specific, actionable data.
Separate quantitative ratings from open text
don't ask learners to rate and explain in the same field; structured ratings are easier to aggregate.
Use the improvement field prompt wisely
'Be as specific as possible' significantly increases the quality of suggestions you receive.
Segment in-progress from completed learners
their feedback reflects different experiences and should be analyzed separately.
Review responses after every cohort or course update to track whether changes are landing the way you intended.
