It's easy to create decision-making activities with ChooseIt! Maker 2. It is
particularly useful for helping switch users learn to make choices
using scanning techniques, as you can create lots of appropriate and interesting
activities in finely graded steps of progression. This new version is even easier to use. It turns your text, images and sounds into linear, on-screen choice-making activities and quizzes that are accessible using a mouse, whiteboard, touch monitor, keyboard or switches. There is enhanced flexibility too: for example, you can offer text choices as well as images, and have more than one correct answer if required.

This is ideal for students who make brief involuntary switch presses which you don•t want the program to recognize, for example as a result of tremor. If you set the delay to 0.4 seconds, the program will only accept switch presses that last longer than 0.4 seconds.
