Note
This article applies to Dragonfly, StudySync, Traverse, and Twig Science.
After the Schoology administrator for your district sets up the LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) integration, you can link assignments* and enable grade passback between Schoology and the Imagine Learning program(s). This eliminates the need for you to enter students' grades manually in Schoology—instead, you can grade assignments in the Imagine Learning program(s) and then send the grades electronically to Schoology. Students will also be able to view their grades from inside Schoology**.
*The assignment linking feature is not yet available for Twig Science. Teachers using Twig Science must first navigate to the assignment before they can grade it.
**Dragonfly assignments that are only reviewed for completion but do not have a percentage grade will not be captured in the Schoology gradebook.
Open a section below to view the applicable instructions.
To turn on assignment linking and grade passback in your classes:
- Sign in to Schoology.
- Click the Courses tab at the top of your screen, then click on the applicable course tile (or create a new course).
- Click the Add Materials tab, then click on the app that your administrator created.
- If prompted, select the class/group to pair with the course, then click Continue. A course can only be linked to 1 class/group.
-
All assignments from the classes/groups in your purview that have already been rostered (either manually or via a sync) will appear in a list. You can also add a new assignment if you prefer.
Note
For StudySync customers: If you create a new assignment, be sure the Target is the class or group that you just linked. The new assignment will then appear in your list of assignments, although you may have to go back in to the Schoology tab, reload the page, wait a few moments, and then click Add Materials and select the app again.
- If an assignment is not already synced, click the Sync button next to it.
- The assignment is now available in the Materials section of your course in Schoology. Open the settings (gear icon) and select Edit.
-
Select the correct app from the Tool Provider drop-down menu and save your changes.
The assignment is now linked and ready for students to complete.
To grade assignments and send/view grades in your classes:
