Engage 360: Quick Choice Interactions

The quick choice interaction in Engage 360 lets learners find information through self-directed discovery. Use the quick choice interaction to:

  • Teach interpersonal skills.
  • Differentiate true and false information about a subject.
  • Test learners’ knowledge of a subject in an ungraded format.

Exploring the Editor

The quick choice editor has three columns with the following panels:

Steps

Located on the left side of the screen, this panel is used to manage choices for your interaction.

Text

Located in the middle of the screen, this panel is used to add text to each choice.

Audio

Located in the upper right corner of the editor, this panel is used to add and edit audio.

Media

Located in the lower right corner, this panel is used to add pictures, characters, and videos.

 

Here are some tips for working with the editor:

  • Change the width of a column by dragging its boundary with your mouse.
  • Click the triangle in the upper right corner of the audio panel to collapse it if you need more room to work with the media panel. Click it again to reopen the panel.

Adding Choices to Your Interaction

Each step in a quick choice interaction is called a choice. To add a choice, do any of the following:

  • Press Ctrl+M.
  • Go to the Quick Choice tab on the ribbon and click Add Choice.
  • Click the Create a new step button in the lower left corner of the Steps panel.
  • Click the Duplicate button at the bottom of the Steps panel to copy the currently selected choice(s).

New choices get added just below the choice that's currently selected in the Steps panel.

Tip: A quick choice interaction can have up to five choices. (It doesn't have an introduction or summary.)
