 +====== Choice ======
  
 +**Choice** allows you to ask a question in the Moodle course room with predefined response choices (one or more response options). \\
 +The results can be shown immediately, later in the course room, or can remain anonymous for each individual.
 +
 +For the scheduling of (consulting hours) appointments, you can alternatively use "[[en/moodle/activities/scheduler/start|Scheduler]]" (more elaborate but with more possibilities).
 +
 +===== Procedure =====
 +
 +Create a list of topics and decide how many students may choose the same topic. \\
 +Your students choose independently. See the list of students with their respective topics at a glance.
 +
 +==== Choice: Distribute topics or dates ====
 +
 +1. Switch on the edit mode in the upper right corner. \\
 +2. Click on "**Add an activity or resource**", the dialog box opens. \\
 +3. Select the "**Choice**" option. \\
 +4. set the following **settings**: \\
 +
 +==== General ====
 +
 +  * **Choice name** (mandatory field)
 +Is the name that will be displayed on the course page and is mandatory to fill in.
 +  * **Description**
 +Here you explain the purpose of your choice. The description should include the question you want the course participants to response on. Furthermore, you can state as information:
 +  * whether responses will be anonymous or by name
 +  * whether results will be published
 +  * whether indicated responses can be withdrawn
 +
 +  * **Display mode**
 +Options to choose: horizontal or vertical. \\
 +//Note: For longer lists (many choice options) the vertical display is recommended.//
 +
 +==== Options ====
 +
 +  * **Allow choice to be updated**. 
 +Select "Yes" allows participants to change their response choices. If "No" is selected, only one choice will be allowed.
 +
 +  * **Allow more than one choice to be selected** 
 +Select "Yes" participants can select more than one option. If "No" is selected, only one choice is possible.
 +
 +  * **Limit the number of responses allowed** 
 +
 +With the option "Limit the number of responses allowed" you can define how many participants are allowed to choose a selection option. \\
 +Example: A topic is to be worked on by two students. Set the "Limit" to 2.\\
 +
 +  * Option 1: Enter the text for the first selection option here. 
 +  * Limit 1: Enter how often "Option 1" may be selected.
 +  * Option 2 (and more...): Define more options. 
 +You need more selection options? Click on the "Add 3 field(s) to form" button.
 +
 +<WRAP center round important 90%>**Do not activate group mode!** If you have activated the group mode for your course, the limits apply per group. So, with a limit of "2", 2 people from each group could choose one option.</WRAP>
 +
 +==== Results ====
 +
 +  * **Publish Results**: Whether and when to show results to students.
 +  * **Privacy of results**: Only available if results are shown. Either results with or without names.

Click on the text "Show X responses" to see an overview of the responses. Click on the buttons at the bottom of the page to save e.g. an Excel spreadsheet with the result of the responses locally.
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Reset choice ====
 +
 +The "Reset course" function can be used to selectively reset individual activities (without deregistering users).
 +
 +To do this, select the option "Delete all responses" (only visible if there are responses in the course room).
 +Check again in the overview which elements will be reset.
