20Learn, powered by Schoology
Where Learning Happens │December 3, 2018
Where Are We Now? - The Implementation Update
We have over 340 pilot members at some stage of getting started with 20Learn, Powered by Schoology. In the course, there has been over 330 discussion posts, over 280 references clicked, and over 9800 page views. It’s great to see so many people interacting with Schoology!
What you can do:
- Encourage your team members to join the current Getting Started with 20Learn course so that we can learn together!
- Share your favorite features and benefits in the Updates feed.
- Ask questions in the recent updates feed.
- Connect with other educators
Worth noting:
- Second semester (S2) / third quarter (Q2) courses will be open by the beginning of next week.
- Parents will have their own 20Learn accounts beginning January 9, 2019.
- Grade passback between Schoology and IC will be available beginning January 10, 2019. ALEC grade passback will ned on January 9, 2019.
- We are working on special roles for Resource teachers and paras. If you need temporary advisor capabilities until the technical process has been vetted, please submit a help ticket to help@asd20.org.
As we make progress with those features we’ll communicate updates.
Keep in mind that we’re at the beginning of a journey. We have a lot of ground to cover and we’re just learning the terrain. Partner with us by participating, asking questions, and providing feedback so that we can continue to grow. That participation is helping us work to meet your needs.
#12DaysofSchoology - Begins December 3rd
Parent Accounts
Parents will be able to login to 20Learn powered by Schoology beginning January 9, 2019. A District 20Alert that day or the day before will inform them of the login process and what to do if they need help. Once parents login, they will have an introductory course waiting for them. This course will walk them through how to use the platform as a parent. As with courses, parents will not need to associate their children with their account; that will be done for them. Parent associations are determined by Infinite Campus records.
Want to know more about the parent view? Check out the attached guide.
Grade Passback - Moving Assignments from Schoology to Infinite Campus
This is what so many people have been waiting for - grade passback between Schoology and Infinite Campus. January 9, 2019 ends ALEC grade passback and January 10, 2019 begins Schoology grade passback. The tests so far have been very successful!
This is not a totally automatic process. To guide you through the process, we have created a training course in Schoology. That course will become available beginning December 17, 2018.
A couple of important notes:
- Due to the nature of elementary grades in IC, this feature is only available at the secondary level for now.
- Just because we have this ability, doesn’t mean you are required to use it.
Thank you!
Thank you for being part of a successful launch! Here’s what we’ve seen in the last month:

Communication is key! When something unusual happens, communicate it to your DLC who will reach out to us if they need additional support. We’re happy to help plus we won’t know what to fix or improve unless we hear from you.
