As a choice activity is not an official quiz, it can provide a non-threatening way to check the students' understanding of key concepts. Try preparing a variety of choice activities with questions about the most difficult concepts in a Lesson, and using them to take quick measurements of how well the students are assimilating the material. Or create a series of choices called Final Exam Questions; tell students that each of these questions will appear in the final exam, in a slightly different form, and that each will have a time limit. When the student reads the newest question, he/she is rewarded with the answer to the previous question. This can motivate students to frequently check their progress in the course.

Overview of this book
Moodle, the world's most popular, free open-source Learning Management System (LMS) has released several new features and enhancements in its latest 3.0 release. More and more colleges, universities, and training providers are using Moodle, which has helped revolutionize e-learning with its flexible, reusable platform and components.
This book brings together step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions to leverage the full power of Moodle 3 to build highly interactive and engaging courses that run on a wide range of platforms including mobile and cloud.
Beginning with developing an effective online course, you will write learning outcomes that align with Bloom's taxonomy and list the kinds of instructional materials that will work given one's goal. You will gradually move on to setting up different types of forums for discussions and incorporating multi-media from cloud-base sources. You will then focus on developing effective timed tests, self-scoring quizzes while organizing the content, building different lessons, and incorporating assessments. Lastly, you will dive into more advanced topics such as creating interactive templates for a full course by focussing on creating each element and create workshops and portfolios which encourage engagement and collaboration
