How do I navigate the My Activities page?

This article will guide you through all of the actions that you can take from the "My Activities" page.

Updated over a week ago

The My Activities page serves as the home base for all of your assigned activities. From this page, you can view and edit activity packs and launch Quill Lessons.

Learn how to navigate the My Activities page below.


Table of contents


Filtering by class

Clicking on the My Activities tab will bring you to a list of all of the activities that you have assigned to your students across all of your active Quill classes.

You can use the dropdown menu at the top right of the page to filter by class.


Finding assigned activities

You can scroll through the page to locate assigned activity packs and activities. For quicker navigation, you can use the keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+f or Cmd+f, to open a search field in your browser and to search for the activity by name.


Removing activities from an activity pack

To delete an activity from an activity pack, scroll to the activity pack in question. Then, click the X icon to the far right of the name of the activity you'd like to remove from the pack. This will immediately remove the activity (and all associated student data) from your students' dashboards and from your teacher account.

Tip 💡: This will also remove all student data and reports for that activity, so if you would like to keep the student data and reports associated with that activity, do not remove the activity from the activity pack.


Deleting an entire activity pack

To delete an entire activity pack, scroll to the activity pack in question and select the Delete activity pack option to the right of the activity pack name. This will remove the entire activity pack (and all associated student data) from your dashboard and from your students' dashboards.

Tip 💡: This will also remove all student data and reports for that activity, so if you would like to keep the student data and reports associated with that activity, do not remove the activity from the activity pack.


Closing an activity pack

Closing an activity pack will remove that activity pack from students' dashboards. Closing an activity pack is different from deleting it, as closing the activity pack will keep the student data in your reports. This feature is ideal to use after activity due dates have passed when you'd like to remove students' ability to complete activities.

To close an activity pack, navigate to the My Open Activity Packs page in the My Activities tab.

To close an entire activity pack, scroll to the activity pack in question and select the Close activity pack option to the right of the activity pack name. This will remove the activities in this activity pack from your students' dashboards, but keep the activity pack's associated data in your student reports.

When you close an activity pack, you can see this activity pack in the My Closed Activity Packs page in the My Activities tab.

Renaming an activity pack

To rename an entire activity pack, scroll to the activity pack in question, and select the Rename activity pack option to the right of the activity pack name, as demonstrated below.

You can then change the name and click the Save button to immediately update the activity pack name on the assigned students' dashboards.


Changing due dates for an activity within an activity pack

To set or change a due date for an activity, 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.

You can also delete a due date by clicking on the due date in question, highlighting the due date with your mouse, and clicking the delete button on your keyboard.


Changing publish dates for activities within an activity pack

To view or change the Publish date for an activity, navigate to the activity pack on 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.

The checkmark next to the date in the Publish date field for an activity indicates that this activity is published and visible in the assigned students’ dashboards.

The clock next to the date in the Publish date field for an activity indicates that this activity is scheduled to show at a later time or date and that it is not yet visible in students’ dashboards.

Changing the order of activities in an activity pack

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.


Adding/Removing students from an activity pack

On the My Activities page, you can assign and unassign activity packs to and from students.

To do so, find the activity pack that you would like to assign or unassign and click the Add/remove students assigned button.

Clicking the Add/remove students assigned button will bring you a page containing the rosters for each of your classes.

Once you have checked and unchecked the boxes next to the names of the students to whom and from whom the activity pack needs to be assigned and unassigned, click the Update students assigned to pack button.

Click here to read more about assigning and unassigning activity packs to and from students on the My Activities page.


Adding an activity to an activity pack

To add an activity to an already existing activity pack, scroll to the activity pack in question. At the bottom of the activity pack, click the Add activities button.

You'll be taken to the activity library, where you can search for and select additional activities to add to your activity pack. After pressing the Assign button, the activities that you selected will be added to your activity pack, and those changes will be immediately reflected on your students' dashboards.


Launching lessons

Lastly, on the My Activities page, you can manage all of your whole-class Quill Lessons. To do so, click the Launch Lessons sub-tab, which will bring you to a list of all of your assigned Quill Lessons.

Click the Launch Lesson button next to the Quill Lesson you would like to begin.
