The choice activity module enables a teacher to ask a single question and offer a selection of possible responses.

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 (though teachers always see student names and their responses).

A choice activity may be used

• As a quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic
• To quickly test students' understanding
• To facilitate student decision-making, for example allowing students to vote on a direction for the course
• To have students choose a presentation time
