Using the Choice Activity
What is a Choice Activity?
A Choice activity enables a lecturer to ask a question and specifies a choice of multiple options. This may be used in a subject as a quick poll to stimulate your thinking about a particular topic or to have the group decide on a particular topic for an assignment.

How do I view responses from a Choice Activity
A lecturer can determine whether they do or don’t publish the responses of the Choice Activity.
The lecturer has a number of options to select from when publishing responses. They can publish responses individually to students as they respond to the activity or only publish the responses after the activity is closed.
They can also choose whether or not the Choice Activity is anonymous or whether to publish the responses with the students’ name.
