Ideas to Elevate your Instruction with an LMS
One of the benefits of choosing Schoology as our Learning Management System is access to the extensive resources that the company provides. For example, each year Schoology sponsors an LMS week to explore the process of integrating and LMS. Last year, one of the days focused on various ways one can elevate their instruction with an LMS.

What you can do:
- Encourage your team members to join the course so that we can learn together!
- Share your favorite features and benefits in the Updates feed.

Worth noting:
- Parents won’t have their own 20Learn accounts during the fall semester.
- Grade passback between Schoology and IC isn’t available this semester.
- 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.
