Every class, group and 1:1 student has a Curriculum tab under Learn. It starts with the ClassQuill syllabus for the subject. You can then shape it to fit what you actually teach.

​
Choose the topics this course covers

Every ClassQuill area and topic for the subject is in the course to start with. The first time you open a fresh course, ClassQuill offers to narrow it down.
1

Open Choose topics

Click Choose topics on the offer above the area cards, or on the dashed card at the end of the grid. Inside an area, click Choose topics under + New topic in the topic list.
2

Tick what you teach

The dialog lists every area and topic as a checklist. Search to find one quickly. Untick anything you don’t teach.
3

Save

Click Save changes. You can reopen the dialog and change your selection at any time.

​
Edit ClassQuill areas and topics

ClassQuill areas and topics work like the ones you create yourself. Use the ⋮ menu on an area card or a topic row to:
  • Rename it for this course. The original name stays the same everywhere else.
  • Reorder it. Use Edit order on the area grid and drag, or Move up / Move down on a topic.
  • Remove from this course. A toast lets you Undo straight away.
To add a topic of your own, click + New topic at the top of the topic list.

​
Removing at the organisation level

If you’re an org admin editing your organisation’s course, removing a ClassQuill area or topic takes it out of every class, group and 1:1 in your organisation. ClassQuill asks you to confirm first. Teachers can’t bring it back in their own class; only your organisation’s staff can.

​
Bring removed items back

Nothing you remove is deleted. Removed items are listed under Removed from this course at the foot of the page. Click Restore to put an item back. This includes lessons that came from your organisation’s course. You can remove one from your class without affecting anyone else, then restore it later.

​
Add materials

Open a section, topic or page and click + Add. You can add a file, video, link, text, Google Drive item, notes, practice questions, a quiz or a worksheet.
  • Area overview — each ClassQuill area has an overview page that can hold materials too, for content that covers the whole area rather than one topic.
  • Library files — files saved in your organisation’s Library can be placed straight into a course.
  • Reorder — drag sections on the grid to reorder them.
Deleting a section or topic you created removes its lessons from every place they appear, including classes that use your organisation’s course.

​
Add a quiz

Click + Add → Quiz, then pick a paper from your organisation’s shelf, this course, or the ClassQuill catalogue. Set a pass mark and the number of attempts (1, 3 or unlimited).
  • A student completes a quiz lesson by passing it. Opening it and submitting a blank paper doesn’t count.
  • Students don’t see answers or worked solutions until the paper’s release setting allows it.
  • Quizzes in removed, deleted or locked lessons can’t be started.
  • Only your organisation’s staff can edit your organisation’s papers.
If you remove a quiz from a course, any attempts and marks students already have are kept.

​
Use your organisation’s course

Org admins can build a course once at the organisation level. Teachers then add its sections to a class, group or 1:1 from Use your organisation’s sections.
  • Adding a section links to it. Updates from your organisation reach the class automatically, and nothing is copied.
  • Groups and 1:1 students only see organisation sections that were added for them.
  • The option only appears for students you teach through your organisation. It’s hidden for private students.
