In Actively Learn, sometimes you add pre-created assignments from the catalog or school library that you only want to assign a portion of.

For example, teachers who wants to assign only 5 chapters from The Scarlet Letter can do this by hiding text sections. For Free plan customers, an alternative would be to bulk remove questions on sections you aren't using.

Hiding text sections

Important: This feature is not available for PDFs, paid texts, or assignments that have been marked as a quiz.

STEP 1: From the assignment view, click on the authoring options icon, and select "Hide text sections" from the drop-down menu.

STEP 2: Check the box for the sections you would like to hide, and click "Hide sections"

(In this example, only Chapters 1 - 5 would not be hidden.)

When students access this assignment, they will not see hidden sections displayed in the Table of Content drop-down.

You will not be able to hide sections where students have already completed work. These sections will be grayed out when you click on "Hide text sections"

Removing questions by section

If you're on the free plan, you won't be able to hide sections, but you can bulk remove questions to assist in skipping over sections you won't be focusing on as a class.

STEP 1: Click on the authoring options icon in the menu and select "Remove questions by section".

STEP 2: Check the sections (chapters) you want to remove questions for, then click "Remove questions".

All questions in Chapters 1 - 9 of this text will be removed. Ask students to navigate to Chapter 10 using the Table of Contents.

Actively Learn supports deeper reading by teaching students to pause, question, reread, write, and assess their understanding. The challenge is that deeply reading an entire novel can demand more time than teachers and students can afford to give.

Fortunately, Actively Learn has several features that teachers can use strategically to support deep reading while keeping a pace that works within calendar restraints.

1) Ensure students can access all chapters of the novel

Turn off question gating. This allows students to jump to any section of the text without requiring them to answer all questions in previous sections first.

Go into the Assignment reading settings and disable " Questions require a response to continue reading".

2) Highlight a few focus chapters for deeper reading

Add or edit teacher directions

Add you own directions to let students know which chapters to read more casually, and which to read slowly and deeply.

Use the Add directions for students button in the assignment.

If the text comes with instruction - Remove questions by section

Remove questions from the sections you want students reading casually.

Use the Authoring Options to remove all questions from a text or section.

If the text does not come with instruction - Add questions in focus chapters

Add higher-order questions in chapters that you have chosen for deeper, closer reading. The questions will prompt students to slow down and think, reread, write, and assess their understanding where you want them to.

3) Help students stay organized

Break the novel into chunks (free texts only)

You can assign single chapters or clusters. This allows you to manage reading pace, and clearly distinguish between chapters for deep reading and those for quick reading.

Make individual assignments by assigning text sections .

You can control reading pace by hiding chapters or text sections from student view.

4) Get some help!
