WELCOME TO THE FILL LEARNING HUB.

Here you'll find tutorials, resources, and articles designed to help you get the most from Fill.

NECESSARY

These tutorials help you use Fill at a basic level.  There are 6 groups of tutorials in this section: Adding Your First Course, Adding Your First Pair of Quizzes, Enrolling Students, Quizzing Students and Recording Results, Scheduling Students for Reteach, and Reassessing Students After Reteach.  Depending on what version of Fill you have, at least one of the tutorials from each group should be completed.

INTERMEDIATE

Intermediate tutorials move a bit beyond the necessary.  Maybe you want to learn how to make online quizzes with videos in them.  Maybe you want to try using some of the data you collect to plan a review for your midterm.  Once you are comfortable with the basics of the Fill Method, try your hand at some of these.

ADVANCED

Advanced tutorials focus on more involved processes that are possible with Fill.  Maybe your school wants to use Fill data to plan their professional development agenda for the year.  Or maybe you want to incorporate Fill data into your grading scheme.  Advanced tutorials focus on long term processes.
