What is it?
A choice activity is very simple – the teacher asks a question and specifies a choice of multiple responses.
Why use it?
It can be useful as a quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic; to allow the class to vote on a direction for the course; or to gather research consent.
Choice results may be published after students have answered, after a certain date, or not at all. Results may be published with student names or anonymously.
Who can use it?
- Tutors can create/ add choices.
- Students can select choice.
