How to create classes and add students to classes in Quill.

Updated over a week ago

In order to assign activities to students, teachers first need to create classes and add students to these classes. Once Quill teachers manually create their classes or import their classes from Google Classroom or Clever, students will be able to log into their Quill accounts to complete activities.

How do I import classes from Google Classroom to Quill?

Navigate to the My Classes tab. Then, click the Import from Google Classroom link.

From the menu that appears, select the classes you'd like to import and select a grade for each class. Once you click the Import classes button, students will be imported from Google Classroom into Quill, and students' Quill accounts that are linked to their Google accounts will be automatically created.


How do I import classes from Clever to Quill?

Navigate to the My Classes tab. Then, click the Import from Clever link.

From the menu that appears, select the classes you'd like to import and select a grade for each class. Once you click the Import classes button, students will be imported from Clever into Quill, and students' Quill accounts that are linked to their Clever accounts will be automatically created.


How do I manually create a class?

If you do not use Google Classroom or Clever, you can manually create classes. To do so, navigate to the My Classes tab.

Then, click the Create a class button.

Name your class and select the grade of the class from the dropdown menu. Optionally, reset your class code by clicking the Reset hyperlink. Lastly, click the Create class, next button.

Now, you'll choose between two options to add students to this class.

1. Invite students to create accounts for themselves

Choose the Students create their own accounts option to get a unique link to share with students so that they can create their own Quill usernames and passwords. This option is recommended for students who are familiar with creating accounts on websites.

Click the Copy button to copy your shareable link and share it via email, add it to your learning management system, or write it on your whiteboard. When students visit this link, they will be asked to create a Quill account and will be automatically added to your class in Quill.

2. Create accounts for students

Alternatively, you can choose the Create accounts for students option if you would like to add students by first and last names and have Quill generate a Quill username and password combination for each student. This option is recommended for students who are not familiar with creating accounts on websites.

When you select this option, add each student's first name and last name and click the Add button. When you click the Add button, Quill will generate a Quill username that follows the pattern firstname.lastname@class-code and a Quill password that defaults to their last name with the first letter capitalized. Once you have added all of your students, click the Next button.

Then, you can then download a PDF document with students' Quill usernames and passwords by clicking the Download PDF button. Lastly, click the Done button to finish creating this class.
