Can I arrange the order of activities in an activity pack?
Can I arrange the order of activities in an activity pack?

Activities appear by default in the order that they are assigned. You can re-order them within an activity pack by using the "Order" tool.

Updated over a week ago

On Quill, after you have successfully assigned activities in an activity pack, you are able to arrange the order of how these activities appear within their corresponding activity pack on the My Activities page and on your students' dashboards. Learn about arranging the order of activities in activity packs below.

Arrange the order of activities

Access your assigned activity packs in the My Activities tab.

To arrange the order of activities within an activity pack, find the activity pack whose activity order you'd like to change. Then, click, drag, and drop the order tool, indicated by the icon with four stacked horizontal lines, in the far left column of an activity's name to move that activity within the activity pack.

This will immediately update the order in which these activities appear in the activity pack in your students' dashboards as well.


Set due dates for activities

To give further structure to your activity packs, you set due dates for activities and ask your students to complete them in the order of due dates. Please note that activities will not be removed from students' dashboards after due dates.

To set a due date, navigate to the My Activities page.

Find the activity pack containing the activities for which you would like to set due dates and click in the Due date fields for the activities for which you would like to set due dates.

Clicking a Due date field will reveal a calendar, in which you can select a date and time.


Set publish dates for activities

On Quill, you are able to choose a Publish date to schedule when specific activities or entire activity packs will appear on your students’ dashboards!

To set a due date, navigate to the My Activities page.

Find the activity pack containing the activities for which you would like to schedule their release and click in their corresponding Publish date fields.

Clicking a Publish date field will reveal a calendar, in which you can select a date and time.
