There are step by step directions below the video.

To add a choice item:

  2. Select the course you wish to add your choice activity.
  3. With the editing turned on, in the section you wish to add your choice, click the Add an activity or resource link and choose Choice () from the popup menu.
  4. This will take you to the Choice settings page titled “Adding a new Choice”.

In an existing Choice, the following settings can be found in Settings > Choice administration > Edit settings.

On the “Adding a new Choice” page, you will be presented with many options and settings for your new choice. They will fall into seven groups: General, Options, Availability, Results, Common module settings, Restrict access, and Activity Completion. Lets discuss each section and its particular options.
