Although, by definition, all of the Activities in OttoLearn are multiple
choice, you can format your Activities in several ways.Multiple Choice Set a scenario and either ask a question or write a statement to be completed by learners.Fill-in-the-BlankHave learners fill in a statement with the correct word or phrase. True/FalsePresent a statement and have learners determine if it’s true or false. This is the most common Activity type. There are many variations of this Activity format, including:Yes/No: Ask learners a question that has a yes or no response. This is one of the easier Activities to write.Yes/No List: Write a question and list a few options. Learners must determine if the correct answer is listed or not.We recommend using these different Activity formats throughout your training, as learners are most likely to retain information that is practiced from multiple points of view.Additionally, ask your learners different kinds of questions—make some about navigating scenarios and others about factual recall.Sample ScenarioJanet is ready to start adding Activities to her Ladder Safety Concept.
