How to create a Pack

  What's a Pack?

A Pack is a versatile tool for organizing and sharing content within Plickers. We recommend using Packs to bring together related resources that cover specific sub-topics within a curriculum, thereby making content easier to manage. You can find more info here.

Creating a Pack is very simple and straightforward, and it's done at plickers.com on your computer. This article takes you through the steps required to do so.

    By default the Pack will be called 'New Pack', but you can change this by typing in the Name text box.

  4. Add more details about your Pack

    We'd recommend filling in the remaining details about your Pack. These include a Pack description, an image, and the Pack's subject and grade level.

    You can access the subject and grade level options by selecting the link in the top right-hand corner of the dialog box. After you click that link, three tabs will appear that you can use to complete the process, as shown in the image below:

      Note

    The only thing that's initially required here is the Pack name. However, if you'd like to publish your Pack, then it's necessary to enter all these details.

  5. Select the blue 'Create Pack' button

    Once you've finished entering all the Pack details, you can press the blue button. This will create the Pack, and you'll then be taken to the Pack page, which you can see in the next step.

    Notice that the name of the Pack now appears in your left-hand sidebar. You can click on this to quickly access your Pack at any time.

  6. Select 'New Set' to start writing your questions

    The New Set button is located towards the top of your Pack page, just underneath the Pack title and description.
