A choice activity is very simple – the teacher asks a question and specifies a choice of multiple responsespresents several choices from which students can select one or more.
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.

- Do you want a limit for each choice option?
- Do you want students to see each others choices?
- Do you want students to be able to change their choice?

- 1.1 Present activities and resources in a meaningful, clearly structured and sequenced way.
The Orientation section suggests that you should:
- 2.2 Explain participation requirements and:
- Outline how students are expected to use Moodle in an introductory statement .
- Identify which activities are compulsory and optional.
- Explicitly signpost all online and offline activities and how they interrelate.
- Provide an indicator of effort (such as timings or page counts) for all compulsory tasks.
- Explain how students are expected to use UCL and external e-learning tools. This PowerPoint Induction template provides a starting point. Wholly online courses Some courses might provide this information as a screen-cast video, with a voice over.
- Link to instructions for any e-learning tools that students are expected to use.
