Qwickly provides easier access to frequently repeated tasks in eCampus. Instead of clicking through each course to complete the same task, instructors can perform tasks from the home screen for all selected courses simultaneously. All Qwickly tools may be used to post content to individual or multiple sections.

Qwickly Course Tools

Instructors can access Qwickly tools after logging in to eCampus by choosing Tools from the Navigation bar, and then choosing Qwickly Course Tools. This will open a new page to access the Qwickly Course Tools. Below are the Qwickly tool links instructors have access to.

Post Announcements

Instructors can post announcements to multiple sections at once. The sections are selected from the list of Courses on the left hand side of the Qwickly announcements pop-up. Instructors must select a section, and the Title is a required field. Announcement content is entered into the Body field. Start and end dates may be set or the announcement may be sent out immediately. The Email Announcement check box is only applicable to announcements posted immediately.

Send Email

Instructors can use Qwickly to email users in multiple sections at once. At least one section must be selected and a Subject and Message content are required. The Send To field allows users to send the email to all section users. Files may be attached from the local computer. 

While the option to select users with specific roles is visible, it is not currently working. This is a known error being addressed by the vendor.

Create Content

Instructors can post content to multiple sections at once. The content is posted into eCampus as Content Items, identical to the Build Content > Item tool available in any content area. At least one section must be selected. Instructors may enter a Name for the item and a Description. Files may be attached from the local computer or the cloud storage tools listed above. (Google drive is not supported by Qwickly). Select Content Area allows instructors to choose the content area to place. When multiple courses are selected, this list will only contain content areas where the name is the same in each course selected. Instructors may instead choose to post to a different content area in each course. A dropdown will appear and populate underneath each course selected in this case. Instructors can post web links to multiple sections at once. Instructors must select at least one section. Instructors may enter a Title and URL for the link. The Post To Course Location area allows instructors to either create a new content area in the selected sections or choose any content area from any section to which they are assigned.

Create Assignment

Instructors can post graded assignments to multiple courses at once. Instructors must select at least one section. Fill out the Title and Points fields. Select Content Area allows instructors to choose the content area to place an assignment in. 

Create Calendar Event

Qwickly gives faculty the ability to post calendar events to multiple courses and their personal eCampus calendar at once. Select at least one calendar and fill out the Location, Title, Event Body, Start Date and End Date fields.
