Activity Types - A Brief Introduction

The Choice activity is used to ask your learners a single question, and allow them to select a response. Depending on how you configure the Choice activity, learners can select more than one option, or update their selection later. 

Choice can be useful as quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic, to allow the class to vote on a direction for the course, or to gauge learner progress. Using this activity type is an easy way to create a more personalized learning environment for your students where they can provide feedback directly to you. Consider using this activity to gauge learner understanding of a topic (without asking students publicly), as an attendance record, as a contract where a learner agrees not to plagiarize, or as a project topic or group selection method. Choice's simplicity makes it a highly versatile activity, leaving you with multiple options for use. 

As an instructor you can always see the results of a choice activity. You can also decide whether or not to allow learners to see each others' choices. The topic of your Choice will dictate which approach you take.
