Why Schoology Is a Blessing for Many Students?

Schoology is a learning management system platform that is gradually gaining popularity with the advancement of technology. Since nowadays many students prefer to choose an online course over the traditional classroom education, platforms like Schoology are like a blessing to them.

It allows the students and teachers to get the study material and find the assignments anytime with their internet connection. There are several ways of submitting assignments on Schoology. Here is a step-by-step guide for the students to know whom to submit the assignment on Schoology .

How to Work on an Assignment?

●       When a student works on an assignment, they need to divide the topic into a few questions. All they need to do is answer all those questions in their paper or assignment.

●       The students should list down their resource materials while they are working on a topic. They must not copy and paste the whole part of their resource material. Instead, they should use portions of that resource in their project with in-text citations followed by a reference list. They should put the resource material within quotes to substantiate their answer.

●       They should know what to cite and what not to cite. If the students are paraphrasing some parts of a resource, they do not need to use quotation marks. They can do a proper citation under the heading bibliography. If they are using portions of their previous work, they need to do a citation. In case they do not do it that can be an instance of self-plagiarism .

●       When the students work on their project, they need to make sure they are not doing any wrong citations or misquoting parts. They must do an in-page citation and a full citation at the end of the work. In the reference list, one should mention the author’s name, work, page number, publisher, edition, and other valid information. The students need to remember that crediting the original author is the only way to avoid plagiarism .

●       The students can submit unlimited pages for assignments on Schoology. The tool supports any document up to 512 MB per file. Schoology Doc viewers supports a huge variety of files including PDF, DOC, DOCX, GIF, TXT, HTML, JPG, PPT, PPTX, PNG, SXW, TIFF, WMV, WPD, XML, CSV, DFX, EPS, HTM, JPEG, MP3, MP4, MOV, RTF, ODP, ODS, PSD, XLS, XLSV, XLSX, etc. Therefore the student can submit their assignment in any format.

●       Lastly, the student can use a plagiarism checker tool to determine the plagiarized part present in a content.

How to Upload the Assignment on Schoology?

There are multiple ways that a student can take to upload an assignment on the online tool. Here is a guide on how to submit their task on Schoology in the different platforms-

• There is an additional step in which the students can also submit another time by clicking on the re-submit assignment option present in the submission area using similar steps mentioned before.
• The user needs to click on the assignment they want to submit. Then they can tap on the + sign present on the top right.

Any plagiarism charges can harm a student’s career, and therefore they should try to stay away from plagiarism. When a student is submitting an assignment on Schoology, they should scan the content with a plagiarism checker to check duplicate content.

The academic plagiarism checker tools compare the document with other existing files available on the internet. The school plagiarism checker finds similar parts present in the content and mentions their source. The students can easily do proper citation and use quotation marks for the portions to avoid plagiarism. It can help them effectively submit a plagiarism-free assignment on the Schoology app.

• Schoology Learning

Using the Google Drive Assignments App

The Google Drive Assignments App enables instructors to assign Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Slideshows, and Drawings from directly within the Schoology platform. When a student opens the assigned file, an individual student copy is automatically generated so that the student can work on it and submit, and the instructor can then provide feedback and grade the assignment, all without leaving Schoology.

• The Google Drive Assignments App does not support Google Forms.
• Instructors should continue to use the Google Drive Assignments app if grades are being entered directly in the Schoology gradebook instead of the app.
• Instructors that wish to use the in-app Google Assignments grading tool can use the new Google Assignments app .

How to install the Google Drive Assignments App

To use Google Drive Assignments, you or your system administrator must install the app from the Schoology App Center, accessible from the header.

If you are a system administrator installing the application for your organization, install the app for All Courses by first selecting Add to Organization , after clicking Install LTI App . You do not need a Consumer Key and Shared Secret for the Google Drive Assignments App.

If you are a Basic instructor, clicking Install LTI App will prompt a pop-up for you to select each Course you would like to install the app for. If you are an Enterprise instructor, your app permissions are determined by your system administrator.

Clicking Add to Organization will open the Organization Apps view.

Click Manage Installs . This will prompt a pop-up to bulk install the app.

Check All Courses and select For All Course Members .

How to check for a Successful Installation

To check if the app has been successfully installed, or if your organization's administrators have already installed it for your organization:

• Navigate to a Course.
• Click Add Materials at the top of your Course Materials page.
• Select Add Assignment.

If installed, the Google Drive Assignments App will appear in your Create Assignment screen.

Before using the Google Drive Assignments app, ensure that third-party cookies are not being blocked on the devices and/or browsers used to access Google Drive assignments by instructors and students.

How to Create an Assignment Using the App

Instructors can add content from their Google Drive accounts directly from within a Schoology Assignment.

Create an Assignment using the Google Drive Assignments App

• From the Courses menu at the top of the screen, select the course in which you're adding the assignment.
• Click the Add Materials button at the top of your Course Materials page. You can also access the Add Materials button from within a folder.

• From the Create Assignment screen, click Google Drive Assignments to open your Google Drive.

If necessary, click Connect to approve the app and log in to your Google account.

Instructors and Students must also be logged into a Google account through their browser to work on and submit assignments using the Google Drive app.

• Enter words or phrases in the Search pane to filter your results. Enclose phrases in single quotes (apostrophes) to search for that exact phrase. Items matching your search terms populate automatically in the results list.

• You can only choose one Google file per Schoology Assignment. To choose a different file, click the x in the right margin to delete the current file, then re-open the Google Drive Assignments App to select another file from your Drive.
• Fill in the rest of the assignment and click Create to finish. Note that once you click Create , you can no longer remove the selected Google file from your assignment.

Google Permissions & the Schoology Google Drive Assignment App

Creating the assignment automatically creates a new folder structure in your Google Drive, which Schoology uses to organize student copies of the file to make it easier for you to keep your Drive organized. It is important that you do not delete or rename any of the new folders in your Drive.

Creating an assignment in Schoology does not make any changes to the permissions on the instructor's original Google Document.

The instructor has the option to select any file in their Drive account (they can use a file they own with any level of permission, or any file that has been shared with them). When each student accesses the Schoology Assignment, a unique copy of that original file is created. Each copy is shared with the instructor and the respective student and can then be edited, annotated, and graded from directly within Schoology .

A primary teacher and a co-teacher cannot both grade student work submitted via Google Drive Assignments. Since we are leveraging Google’s permission-sharing capabilities, at this time, all student copies are only shared with the teacher who created the assignment and the student who opens it. All other visitors to the course, whether co-teachers, admins, advisors, will not be able to see the submission. As a workaround, the course admin who created the assignment can share to any co-teachers and other faculty directly from Google Drive. All student copies are organized into Google Drive folders by course and assignment. This way, the primary teacher may push out all assignments to students in Schoology and share submissions directly from Google Drive via the folder with all student work to the co-teacher. The co-teacher can then view the assignments through Google Drive directly.

Google Drive Folder Hierarchy

The first time you create an assignment using the Google Drive Assignments app, a new folder called Schoology Google Drive Assignments automatically generates at the root level in your associated Google Drive. With each new assignment you create, new folders populate automatically with the following hierarchy:

• A new folder for the course and section named CourseName: SectionName , plus a numeric identifier to ensure uniqueness, is added in the Schoology Google Drive Assignments folder.
• A new folder with the Assignment name for its title, also appended with a numeric identifier, is added to the course/section folder.

Each time a student makes a copy of the file, it is added to the Assignment folder. The filename is the name you gave it with the student name appended to the beginning.

For example, if you created a new assignment called Grammar Review in Section 1 of an English 101 course, the folder structure would be Schoology Google Drive Assignments > English 101:Section 1 +[numeric ID] . If course member Hannah Atkins then creates a copy of the file, it is named Hannah Atkins - Grammar Review +[numeric ID] and placed in the English 101:Section 1 +[numeric ID] folder.

You and your students should not delete, edit, or rename any of the folders created via the Schoology integration.

Managing and Editing a Google Drive Assignment in Schoology

Once you click Create , the assignment will be available in the course.

Once a student clicks My Document and creates their copy of the assignment, any changes made to the original document will not be reflected in the student copy. However, students who have not yet created their own copy will see the changes once they click My Document.

Instructor View

As an instructor, you have access to three tabs displayed at the top of the assignment. Each tab has additional controls and information.

Assignment Tab

On the Assignment tab, you can:

• See the due date and time.
• See the assignment Description.

Open the Google file you selected in a new tab in your browser.

This is the file that your students will use to create their own copies of the file, and any edits you make do not automatically update in previously-created copies of the file. That is, only students who create their copy after you make the edits will have versions that contain the edits. Updates to the file are not reflected for students who've already made their copies.

• Review a rubric if one is being used to grade the assignment.
• Use the section switcher to change the course section you're viewing if you have linked sections taking the assignment.

In Progress Tab

Click In-Progress to see a list of all students who have not yet made an assignment submission. View a student's copy of your original document before they submit by selecting their name from the list of the In Progress tab.

Monitor the progress of your students before they submit. Provide feedback directly on submissions using the native Google Drive feedback tools.

To open the student's copy of the document directly within Google Drive, click Open in the top right corner.

In Progress displays a list of both students who have clicked My Document and created their own copy of your Google file, as well as students who have not yet made their copy of the distributed file.

When you select a student’s name who has not yet clicked the My Document tab in their view of the assignment, the following message displays:

It looks like [student’s first name] has not opened this assignment yet. Once your student clicks on “My Document,” a copy of your original file will be created and the document will appear here.

Students can edit their files while submissions are still In Progress . Once students make a submission, they can no longer edit their files (from either Schoology or Google Drive). As the instructor and owner of the file, you will always have edit access to each of your students' files.

This copy displays when you select a student from the list in your In Progress tab until the student makes a submission. Once the student submits, his or her name and document display in the Submissions tab instead.

Submissions Tab

Submissions displays a list of students who have submitted the assignment. Select a student’s name to view his or her document.

From Submissions you may:

• Click into the grade input field along the top of the document header to grade the submission, enter a score, or add a comment.

• Click Unsubmit below the student name to move the assignment back into the In Progress tab and enable the student to continue working on the assignment.

Provide feedback using native Google features, including commenting and annotation tools, as well as advanced editing tools like insert math formula and insert charts.

Insert image is not supported at this time.

• Needs Grading

Student View

The student view of the Google Submission Assignment displays the Assignment and My Document tabs.

If the student view is not displaying, ensure that third-party cookies are not being blocked on the devices and/or browsers used to access Google Drive assignments.

• The Assignment tab displays the Assignment Description , including the due date. If you're using a rubric to grade the assignment, it also displays in this tab.

Student Experience

Students have access to two tabs displayed at the top of their assignment: Assignment and My Document . Clicking the My Document tab will generate a copy of the original file that will then be shared between you (the instructor) and the student. This copied file will then be placed and organized in your drive.

In the Assignment tab, students can:

Students click the My Document tab in their view of the assignment to create their own copy of your original file. As the instructor, you are the owner of the document in Google, and the file is shared with your students.

When accessing Schoology via a web browser, students must be logged into their own Google Drive accounts through their browser in order to create a copy of your original file.

Submitting Assignments

Once students authorize the app and log into their Google Drive account through their browser, they can edit their file from within Schoology.

Click Submit Assignment at the top of the document to submit.

Students may no longer edit the Google file after submitting the assignment. Instead, any edits a student makes after submitting the assignment are added as "suggestions" to the Google file. Teachers can review the suggestions to approve or deny the edits that were suggested after submitting the assignment.

However, students may click Unsubmit at any time before the due date, and before you have graded their work. This includes applying an exception code.

Unsubmitting an assignment returns it to In Progress in your view of the assignment as the Instructor. When an assignment is unsubmitted, the student re-gains edit access to the file and may continue working on the assignment.

Please note, these errors can depend on your browser setup.

Kami and Schoology

Are you ready to level up your Schoology experience? In this video, you’ll learn how to create Kami assignments in Schoology and easily share them with your students.

Hiya, I’m Vanessa. I’m on the community team here at Kami and I love supporting and cheering on our educators. But more importantly, I love sharing top tips to make your lives even easier. Today I’m going to show you how Kami and Schoology works so well together. Getting set up is super simple, just make sure you and your students have the Kami extension installed. First, let’s dive straight into Kami and start creating an assignment for our class. For this assignment, I’m going to use this Bubble Map Template from the Kami Library. As you can see, I’ve already added in text boxes invoice comment instructions, but I want to add one more touch before I sign it out to my students. So I’m going to use the Add Media tool to drop an image in the middle. Another awesome thing about Kami is that all your work is automatically saved to either your Google Drive or OneDrive to a specific Kami Uploads folder, keeping all your Kami files in one place. Now that the assignment is ready to be assigned, let’s click on the Sharing button up here. Here you can see your unique Kami sharing link general sharing permissions, plus download and print permissions. I’m going to copy the unique sharing link. And now we’re ready to move on to the next step in Schoology. So let’s hop on over there. 

Here we are in Schoology. With that Kami link and I copied earlier, I can quickly create an update in Schoology for quick collaboration. I’m going to click the link button, paste in the Kami link and give it a title and click Attach. I can also hit the bell button. If I want to make it an announcement. I want to make this an assignment. So I’m going to go to materials and from the drop down menu, I’m going to select the Kami option. It’s really important that you remember the steps so you get the full Kami experience. From here I’ll choose my file and I know where my work is because conveniently Kami saves everything to my Kami Uploads folder. So we’ll go to Google Drive and I’ll grab that file. I also have the option to control features where I can adjust the camera tools my students can access to complete the assignment, I’m actually only going to allow my students to use a few Kami tools to complete this assignment. And here is my Schoology window. Here I can confirm the due date, choose a category and I will save the changes. My assignment has now been sent out to my students. If you ever want to make any edits to your newly created assignment, click the Edit Template button to make some changes to your file before your students access to the assignment. Students received their assignment as normal in Schoology, and they can click the assignment directly to open it into Kami. Over on the toolbar, you can see the Feature Control selections that I’ve put in place. Once they finish their assignment, they can click Submit and see the celebratory confetti. Now that we’re ready to grade, open the Kami assignment in Schoology and click Open Grader. Here you’ll be able to monitor student’s work even before they click the Submit button. So make sure to take full advantage of this awesome feature when needed. I’ve marked up and left some feedback already. So to finish it off, I’ll leave a grade comment and hit post. 

And there we have it. Now you’re ready to start your first Kami assignment with Schoology remember to have fun with your own content and Chemi create dynamic learning experiences and let me help you keep making connections. Thanks for tuning in.
