The Choice activity allows students to select one option from a choice of multiple responses. This can be useful as a quick poll to stimulate thinking about a topic or to enable students to vote on module issues. As you can set the Choice to only allow a certain number of students to make a particular selection, a Choice can also be used to facilitate student tutorial sign-ups.
You can also allow students to select more than one option in the Choice activity. This feature can be useful for when you want to come to a consensus on a module issue so that students can provide, for example all dates when they might be available to attend a revision lecture and then the lecturer can choose the most popular date.
Do not use Group mode under Common Module Settings with Choice. This overrides limits that you have set for each option on your Choice activity.
Turn Edit mode on. Open the relevant section. Select Add an activity or resource. Select Choice from the Activities tab.
From Allow more than one choice to be selected, you can manage if students can select one or more choices. If this is set to Yes then students can select more than one option. The checkboxes display differently according to whether this setting is set to Yes or No.
You can use the Restrict access settings to control the availability of content and activities based on one or more conditions, including date and group.
Activity completion allows you to set completion criteria for a specific activity or resource.
Activities or resources with a completion criteria display a circle next to them in the Module index. The circle turns green (and is filled in) when the student meet the criteria. On the main module page, a tick and the word "done" appears against the item when the student meets the criteria. This helps students manage their progress on a module and staff can easily review student engagement and progress against key activities.
You can combine Restrict access and Activity completion to provide structured pathways through your module.
