Overview
Learning tools are as important as learning content because of their support in improving students' learning experience.
Choice
The choice function allows for the tutor to select and display a range of options so that the students can select one of those options. This function can be used in a variety of ways and can help a tutor understand how well his/ her students are doing in a module or it can be used to allow tutors to see which elements of the module students seem to be struggling with.
Choice allows the tutor to select a number of options and or display a statement. The students can then select one of the options/ statements. This is a useful feature to have available on Moodle as it can be used by students to vote for something or to choose a single option out of many. A description can be added to the title of the link so that students can read what they will be selecting before clicking on the link.
More options can be added by the tutor so there is no limitation on how many options can be made available. If you are seeking a limited number of responses you can also allow for this as a default setting so this means if you wished for a set number of responses from students you could limit this from the settings menu which should hopefully prompt students to respond so that they can have their say.
Additional restrictions can be placed upon the selection process such as special times and dates in which the selection can be made. This is a very handy feature as you can set a time limit for the responses and allow yourself to prepare for the next session using the information provided by the students.
If used this can be a very useful tool as students can select areas where they are doing well, doing poorly or areas that they need more help in for various reasons. Students can update their selection if you have selected this as an option for them adjustable in the settings.
As a tutor you can view the results and see who voted for or selected what but students must be given permission in order to be able to view results of other students. Responses can also be published which can be useful to a tutor as they can see where students are doing well & poorly. Responses can be downloaded in numerous formats.
This function can be used and manipulated to serve many purposes so it will and can be very useful to the student learning experience. This can be used session after session by students to select areas that they believe helped them learn or areas that they feel need to be modified to lead to a more enriching and stimulating learning experience. Choice can connect online and the classroom contexts together as if there is no further availability in face to face sessions online materials to help improve and enhance understanding of threshold concepts can be created as identified by the choice mechanism.
The choice function can be used as a mid module evaluation or final module evaluative tool as well which can help improve the student experience and engagement with the module for future cohorts. This can give a tutor insight into what is going well in the module and which elements need improvement.
Workshop

Database
