Hello,
Anyone out there have any creative uses for the choice module? I am collecting for a presentation.

Hi Paula,
Currently Moodle Choices is offering a far greater contribution to our admin functions than our teaching.(remember not to use groups in this function)
1) Elective courses: students are given a list of choices that they can choose from
2) Sign up for a specific activity eg Rosetta Stone, cycle rental - Students self-enrol to a moodle coursepage then click to say 'please sign me up' - we use choices in order to set course limits
3) Choice of degree specialism - students are away on stage, and change their mind frequently, so we set a choices activity with the pathways and instead of emailing us every time they change their minds, they indicate the change on choices, which are left open.
4) as with the inclusion of images, there is no reason why you can't include podcasts or video.
5) we MIGHT run our student union elections online next semester.
Probably not quite what you had in mind, but it all helps to focus our colleagiues minds on the value of teh system,
best
Paul
Thank you very much Paul.
These are great ideas. I hadn't thought of many uses from this point of view.
I have gotten the images figured out thanks to Mary Cooch's tutoring on html which I am just beginning to learn. Perhaps I'll have time to experiment with the podcasts. That sounds intriguing.
I will try that.... as soon as I finish my conference presentation and the district technology plan I am working on. It's such a cool idea perhaps I will be able to find some time to try it out before the presentation....
The working part is the most important as far as I'm concerned.
I sometimes stumble around in something new for a while before I understand what's going on. That's actually the way I learn best. I'm always telling kids that making errors is part of the learning...guess I live it quite often.
Thanks again for your help. I really have learned a lot about Html and how to find my moodle resources from your posts all over the forums.
Mary,
Thank you!!!! My presentation will have a link back here so my audience can see how to do this. You are the best!

Kristian,
Thank you so much.
My computer just died and I have to use the backup computer... I am rebuilding the Powerpoint and your list will go right into it.
Can you tell me more about student voice polling? I am not sure I understand what that is.
Eric, Iver and Brian,
What great ideas!
I did a presentation last week, but have already put in for a new conference to present again. I will add your great ideas in to the new presentation. I didn't have much in the Choice area at the time. These will help fill out that section.
Thank you,
Paula
