Practical Uses of Choicefrom Kristian Still (Moodle.org)

A simple question to answer, to kick start - thebeginning of a lesson.

A question left unanswered from a lesson - thatneeds an answer. Now home study.

As feedback about a lesson, as assessment forlearning.

As they are so fast to set up - they can even beused as a polling tool, although there are othertools out there.
