Choice settings

Note for Contributors
This page should explain what can be seen on the moodlesite.com/course/mod.php page
when adding a choice

When creating or editing a choice activity, you fill in the following data:

Choice name

A short name of the choice (e.g. "Favourite colour"). This will be displayed on the course's homepage.

Choice text

Type the description of the choice activity here. It should contain the question that you want your students to answer. An example of the choice text could be "What is your favourite colour?"

Choice 1 ~ Choice 10

Here is where you specify the options that participants have to choose from. In our example, the numbered options could be e.g. "blue", "green", "red", "yellow", etc.

You can fill in any number of these: if you leave some of the options blank, they will not be displayed.

Limit the number of responses allowed

This option allows you to limit the number of participants who can select each particular option.

Once Limits have been enabled, each option can be assigned a limit. When the limit is reached then no-one else can select that option. A limit of zero (0) means that no-one can select that option.

If Limits are disabled then any number of participants can select any of the options.

Restrict answering to this time period

This setting allows you to define a time window within which participants are allowed to make a choice.

To set an open-ended close date just set the time very far in the future.

If you don't need this at all then uncheck the box.
