Invite your learners to submit feedback after completing a course with automated course reminders.
To be able to do this, the course must first have a feedback activity present as well as completion tracking enabled or course completion configured, depending on what criteria you will be sending the reminder on. Follow the steps below to configure reminders for your course:

- Go to the administration block on the left and click ‘Reminders’ under the Course administration heading.
- In the ‘Reminder’ section set a Title for the reminder (you can add multiple reminders)
