How to participate in a Choice activity in Moodle.

The Choice activity provides a polling mechanism to ignite interaction. A choice activity is very simple—the teacher asks a question and specifies multiple response options. 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 content. Choices can be designated to post anonymously, or with a student avatar by the selection. Polls are a good way to let participants get to know a little more about the other members of a course. Students are able to see a graphic representation of the poll. Learn how to answer a Choice by following the steps below.
